Newton says Troy Elevator won't close

Troy Elevator, Inc., won’t be closing Faith Newton, one of the owners, said Wednesday.

“We are looking at options to sell the business,” Newton said in the wake of reaction to a Bloomfield Democrat story that an auction has been scheduled for July 28. “If it doesn’t sell it won’t close.

“It definitely will not close whether we sell it or keep it,” she emphasized.

Del Peterson & Associates, a Fremont, Neb., auctioneering firm lists a July 28 auction at the Mutchler Community Center to sell the business in six different parcels.

An auctioneer’s comment on the Peterson web site says, “The owners of Troy Elevator, Inc. have decided to discontinue the operations of their grain, feed, fertilizer and trucking business.”

General Motors Corp., 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Mich. 48265 and Edward J. Peper Jr., North America Vice President/Chevrolet, PO Box 909978, Milwaukee, Wis., 53209. (ed.j.peper@gm.com).
