Proposal to Purchase
My name is Trevor O'Dell. I own O'Dell Service in Blair. I would be interested in purchasing lots 6,7, and
8 1 have reviewed the covenants and zoning regulations. I think our business fits within both. We have
grown to the point the shop we are renting is not suiting our needs sufficiently. We would like to build a
new building and expand our business. We currently repair and service Cat heavy equipment and Cat
truck engines. We have started to rent out heavy equipment and sell good quality used
equipment. With the new building it will allow us to expand and grow. We would also like to have a
store front to sell new parts along with the sales and rental of equipment. Currently we have 7
employees including myself. With the prospect of building a new shop and adding more services we
would be looking to hire more employees to help fill roles. Right off the bat we would be looking to hire
an additional 4 to 5 employees to help fill the demand we have. The building we have currently selected
is 12,500 square feet. With and additional 1200 square feet office. I was raised in Blair. I went to
school in Blair. I started my business in Blair. I would like to continue to grow my business in Blair. With
the purchase of these lots we will be able to do that.
Lot 6 We would offer 75,000
Lot 7 We would offer 75,000
Lot 8 We would offer 50,000
I would like to purchase all three lots. We would also like to start building with in a year of purchase. If
you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out.
