Given the state of the economy we were stunned to see multiple transfers of commercial and farm properties in 2009. These sales were not transferred through the West Penn MLS. What that means is if you wanted to use them as comparables you would either have to search the Westmorland Deed site or visit the court house in Greensburg.
We keep sharing with you that there are strong currents working to make Donegal a memorable Gateway to the Laurel Highlands. Building and expanding our local businesses certainly will help! You spending time and money here keeps the excitement growing!
Family Dollar - It's the first franchise store along the Route 31 corridor after the fast food and gas stations that you pass by when you exit off of the turnpike at Donegal. This store just celebrated its first anniversary, it's that new! We picked up the transfer dated September 2009 for $880,000.
The 6 Pack Shop NOW Taylor Jo's 6 Pack Shack- This parcel is located on the right when you turn on to 711 from Route 31 as you're headed to 7 Springs. The building had several rentals inside along with the small restaurant (great fried chicken) that sits on just less than an acre. Dine in or take out, they're running daily specials 724-593-2401. The property transferred December 2009 for $250,000.
Leepers Grocery- This was once a grocery store and is located on Route 31 headed towards Mount Pleasant about 2 miles off of the Donegal turnpike exit. Lots of remodeling going on here! New owners have made rental space available. With just over an acre of ground this property transferred in June of 2009 for $190,000
Laurel Highlands Personal Care Home -This parcel is on the right as you cross the bridge off of Route 31 onto Route 711 headed to Ligonier. With approximately six acres and a large building this property transferred in December 2009 for $875,000.
There were two farms sold in Donegal Township during 2009. Both showed more than 100 acres! Both of these transferred in April 2009. One for $660,000 and the other was for $550,000.
If you'd like to be a part of our growing community here's a great opportunity! This parcel is DIRECTLY ACROSS from the Family Dollar store. With over 2 acres the site has frontage on both Route 31 and School House Lane. Seller is willing to sell or rent. Upgrades include new roof and paint in 2007, lot seal coated and lined in 2009.
