Former BLM building up for auction on Monday

The property formerly occupied by the Bureau of Land Management for Lewis and Clark National Forest is going up for auction on Monday.
The building is located at 1101 15th St. N. and has been vacant since the BLM moved to a new office in 2016. The new office is at the corner of River Drive and 38th St. N.
The starting bid for the 41,570 square foot building is $350,000.
The one-story building was originally constructed in 1958 and renovated in 1986 and 2002, according to the auction listing. The building sits on 2.58 acres.
The former Hastings property was sold at auction in August. The Electric has confirmed that the building sold during the auction, but is still working to confirm the buyer and if they have any plans for the property.
