Eighth city-owned property group up for bids

The city of Springfield is accepting sealed bids for an eighth group of surplus properties, according to an announcement earlier this week.

The newest group of properties includes 13 parcels up for bid; five of those are newly listed properties, while eight have been listed previously.

Each of the parcels in the list includes a reserve price to give bidders a better idea of what the city will accept to cover costs and expenses.

• 1057 W. Grand St., with a reserve of $8,500;

• 1506 W. Walnut Lawn St., with a reserve of $20,000;
