SNOW HILL – Worcester County will list its synthetic ice rink for sale online following a split vote this week.
On Tuesday, the Worcester County Commissioners voted 4-3 to list the county’s ice rink for sale on govdeals.com.
“I think the taxpayers should recoup some funding for the cost of this ice rink,” Commissioner Chip Bertino said.
At the start of the year, the commissioners agreed to cease operations of the synthetic ice rink, which the county purchased for about $70,000 in 2019. Several of them said it was too expensive to set up and wasn’t utilized enough. At that point, staff advised them they could donate it, sell it on the online auction site govdeals.com or solicit bids for it. They voted 4-3 at the time to solicit bids.
Procurement Officer Nicholas Rice approached the commissioners Tuesday with the news that no bids to purchase had been received. He said he was looking for direction from officials on how to proceed.
