The Northern Wyoming Community College District Board of Trustees, during their monthly meeting held in Buffalo Tuesday night, approved two purchase offers on two separate properties in Sheridan owned by the district.
NWCCD President Walter Tribley discussed the proposed sales during the board meeting.
Craig Achord, vice president of administration, discussed the details of the proposed sales with the board, recommending two purchase offers be accepted by the board of trustees.
According to information provided by Sheridan College, the first property, located at 1025 E. 6th Ave. in Sheridan, is a 10,000 square-foot lot including a shop, purchased by the NWCCD in 2016, which an offer of $130,000 was extended.
The second property, with locations at 1841 and 1851 S. Sheridan Ave. in Sheridan, are roughly 17,000 square-foot lots including a 3,100square-foot building on one lot, purchased by the NWCCD in 2007-2008, with an offer of $650,000 extended on it.
Trustee Gary Koltiska opted to abstain from the vote, saying he wanted more time to review the offers and research whether the offers were “a good price or a bad price.”
The board voted to approve the purchase offers.
The vote is just a step in the process, and the properties have not yet closed, according to the college.

I wish all the others would agree with Koltiska. Do a little more research before agreeing to sell. You are using taxpayer money, not your own. Maybe advertise the properties on the open market first, and see what offers come about.

Didn’t the governor just say that we needed more tourism industries in our economy? Yet we close down the culinary school because I know a lot of 50 plus-year-olds who wake up and say ” I think I’ll go ride a bronc this morning” instead of going out to a restaurant to eat! What they did to the College and the blue ribbon programs out there is a shame. Budget cuts or not I don’t know too many who pro rodeos but I do know a lot of people in the tourism industry who wished they could get training or even go eat at the culinary school.
