The Lewistown Borough Council has accepted a $25,111 bid for the old Central Hotel property, located across from Gus’s Pizza. The bid, placed by Zane Swanger, was chosen over a $10,600 offer from Steven Watson of Watson’s Optical. Swanger expressed a desire to prevent the property from becoming another eyesore. In other business at their meeting yesterday, the council moved to finalize a loan for a new fire truck for the Heritage Fire Co. The total cost of the truck is over $1.4 million, with the bulk of the funding coming from a loan. The next council meeting is set for May 5.
