Country 93.5

KEENE — The former National Grange Mutual headquarters at 55 West St., bought in July by two developers who talked of housing, jobs and keeping the building from sitting empty, is being quietly offered to outside buyers for $7.5 million. That is nearly three times the $2.7 million they paid less than four months ago.

Before the money can be accepted, the city must agree to pay its share of the expenses tied to the new jobs.

The new schedule will operate twice daily.

Slate & Sage took over the space once occupied by Nicola’s, which closed in September.

The announcement came during a townwide gathering at the Latchis Theatre on Oct. 28, where local and state leaders outlined the ambitions behind the project.

Claremont announced her hiring in a press release and pointed to her experience in administration, economic development, budgeting and public engagement.
