Jeff Edberg, realtor with Lepic-Kroeger Realtors of Iowa City, provided an update to the Washington City Council about selling the former library building. In June the council approved a listing agreement with Edberg. He explained he is working with Tim and Patty Elliott of Elliott Realty Group to market the building on East Main Street. He explained that by working together they’re able to spread their base. Edberg added there may be the opportunity for a commercial space in the front, with office space or residential areas in the rear part of the structure. The former library is an 8,800 foot two-story building and has an elevator.
