Foreclosure funds used to buy Halgren home
Blackert: As yet, there’s no plan for the property, but ‘we’re going to act very quickly’
ROCK FALLS – The city used money in its budget to buy foreclosed homes to purchase Ron Halgren’s dilapidated, refuse-ridden home for $29,500, the city administrator said Wednesday.
According to court records, the city got a judge’s OK to foreclose on the home, then bought it Dec. 9 at an advertised public auction at which it was the only bidder.
To her knowledge, no appraisal was done on Ronald Halgren’s home at 812 Ave. A before the city bought it, City Administrator Robbin Blackert said.
