ROCKLAND — The Rockland City Council will meet Wednesday, April 15 at 5:30 p.m. to consider a draft order to solicit bids on two municipal properties. The two properties are 270 Pleasant Street (Rockland City Hall) and 9 Burrows Street (Rockland Department of Public Services Garage). 

The City Council is considering sale of these properties after discussing a possible development in executive session on Monday. 

Premature disclosure of information pertaining to the developer, and their development proposition, would damage the bargaining position of the city. Full disclosure of these details is likely in early May and prior to final award of any purchase and sale agreement. 

The city has an obligation to a fair and impartial consideration of other unknown interested parties while considering this development proposal. Therefore, the process to solicit bids will be quick, clear, and awarded to the highest and best bidder, according to a news release

The City Council will retain the discretion to discard any and all bids. There will be additional consideration prior to a sale agreement.  

The Mayor and the City Council would like to apologize in advance for the inability to answer inquisitive questions until May.
