Despite charges of secret backroom dealing, the Washington town council members voted unanimously at last Wednesday’s meeting to trade the Gay Street fire hall owned by the town for the old Methodist church further down the block.
According to Washington mayor Newbill Miller, the swap was worked out last month in executive session with W ashington attorneys Peter Luke and Sharon Genebach Luke, contract owners of the church.
Noting that the town holds title to the monument lot next to the church. Miller said this area could be used as a drainfield for the building which currently lacks plumbing. Trading the fire hall for the move valuable church will increase the worth of town property, said Miller who is also a real estate agent recognized by Virginia courts as an expert appraiser.
