The United Auto Workers Hall will get a second life after selling at auction at the end of January.
The hall was auctioned off for $167,500. While the building went for less than they were hoping, they are happy that the new owners plan to keep the building standing and will renovate it instead. The UAW has moved into a new space on S. Collett Street as of November that is better suited for their needs.
"We're right across the hall from the United Way," said Bryan McClurg, President of the UAW Building Corp. "It benefits us in a lot of ways because the UAW does a lot of community activism and now we're right there with those community programs."
The UAW sign that is on the building will be donated to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati where it will be lit up and on display with a photo of the building.
