Georgetown City Council approved a motion March 13 to accept a bid from Austin sub sandwich shop ThunderCloud Subs for the fire station bay building at 816 S. Main St.
The motion to accept the bid came out of a closed session, and the contract amount was not given. The city announced on Feb. 13 it planned to sell the 3,000-square-foot building and that bids starting at $216,000 would be accepted until March 1.
City Manager Paul Brandenburg said there will be a due-diligence period before the contract is final.
The historic Fire Headquarters building, located next door at 103 W. Ninth St., was not included in the sale. Arts groups have indicated an interest in using the first floor of the building as a public art center.
