MACON, MO. -- During a four-day blitz, the Missouri Department of Transportation will quickly sell 23 highly marketable properties. MoDOT's north central office in Macon will be taking part in the event by offering two of those properties.

The Realty to Roads Blitz is an all-out attempt to sell multiple properties across the state in a short period of time. The properties will sell either at auction or by sealed bid from Nov. 16-20. Details about the program can be found at www.modot.org/realtyforsale.

During the blitz, the north central district will be selling a property in Randolph County and a property in Carroll County. Both will be sold by sealed bid.  The bids for these two properties will be opened at 10 a.m., Nov. 19 in the Macon office.

Information about each property is as follows:

Randolph County

1.4 acres located on the southeast quadrant of McKinsey Street and Business Route 63/Morley Street in Moberly. The property is ready for commercial or business development. The property is rectangular in shape.

Carroll County

3.395 acres located on the northeast quadrant of the Route 24 and Route 65 intersection, along the east city limits of Carrollton. The property has commercial development potential.  The property is irregular in shape.

"Our goal is to sell a fairly large number of properties in a concentrated amount of time," said Gregory Wood, Realty to Roads Project Director in MoDOT's Right of Way Division.  "We want to draw attention to the fact we have property for sale and get land we're no longer using in the hands of owners who can put it to good use.  Of benefit to everyone is the fact that the money from the sales goes to fund needed road and bridge projects."

Wood said the blitz complements other activities MoDOT has implemented to aggressively sell excess property. As part of the Realty to Roads initiative, MoDOT has contracted with two private firms for real estate marketing and consulting services.

In addition to the land being sold during the Realty to Roads blitz, other MoDOT property for sale can be found on the department's web site modot.org/realtyforsale.
