SOUTH POINT — Filing foreclosure documents on the remaining four Biomass parcels adjacent to The Point industrial park is imminent according to Lawrence County Prosecuting Attorney Brigham Anderson.

“In the next couple of weeks, it will be filed,” Anderson said.

Right now Biomass owner Mark Harris owes $21,511.21 in taxes that are at least a year old, as well as those that were due this year. That figure also includes interest and penalties.

“We have to get him served and put a publication of the sale in the newspaper,” Anderson said. “Foreclosures just take time.”

After that happens, the parcels will go on the auction block in a sheriff’s sale.

Those parcels had come up for sale in January 2015 with a representative from the Lawrence Economic Development Corporation at the courthouse ready to bid. However Harris made an 11th hour payment on the back taxes to keep the parcels from being sold.

“He has the right to redeem them up until they are sold,” Anderson said.

Harris is also facing a lawsuit filed by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine over the manner in which he removed asbestos from some of the buildings on his property.
