The town of Mount Pleasant is now allowing vendors to bid on the combined 1,000 square feet of space in the old Hawthorne train station building. The building is comprised of two 530 and 470 square foot rooms.
Writes the town:
The Town of Mount Pleasant is seeking proposals from qualified individuals and firms interested in leasing space at the Hawthorne Train Station Building in Hawthorne, NY 10532.
The intent of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to seek out and select a Lessee for retail space available at the Hawthorne Train Station Building.
There will be a pre-proposal meeting at the Hawthorne Train Station Building as noted in Article 2.7 of this Request for Proposal.
Needs work!
Proposals are due in Monday at 11 a.m., which obviously doesn’t give one a lot of time to get a proposal together, seeing as the request for proposals went out town late afternoon yesterday.
The civic group Mount Pleasant Today will also circulate a questionnaire asked commuters and residents what they want to see–restaurant, dry cleaner, Hot Tub Time Machine!–go into the space. They plan to circulate fliers at the station and other public places like libraries, the community center and town hall.
The winning bidder will be responsible for fixing up the interior, though clearly some work is going on inside the building these days.
The town says both parts of the building (Section A and Section B) will rent for $1000 a month apiece, but it’s negotiable.
Who’ll get the winning bid?
