Plant City Contractor & Developer Kimball Wetherington to Auction Multiple Properties
Hillsborough County Florida Multi-property auction to be held October 14th. Numerous properties to be sold absolute to the last and highest bidder. Commercial, Residential and Industrial tracts all to be offered at auction.
Plant City, FL (PRWEB) September 2, 2006 -- Higgenbotham Auctioneers International announced today that they will be offering at auction 23 parcels totaling 640 acres in eastern Hillsborough County. These parcels range in size from one acre home-sites to a 320+ acre ranch, all of which are owned by Plant City native Kimball Wetherington. The Plant City multi-property auction will be held in the convention room at the Ramada Inn at SR 39 and Interstate 4 in Plant City on Saturday, October 14, 2006.
According to Higgenbotham Auctioneers representative Tom Haney, the auction will be the largest in memory for the Plant City area. "The Wetherington properties are diverse and cover a complete spectrum of uses and opportunities. The larger of the tracts are to include the 320 acre Wetherington ranch along Smith Ryals Road and Trapnell Road, and a 232 acre industrial tract that is located inside the Plant City corporate city limits," stated Haney as he described the many details of the sale. The sale is to include residential, commercial and industrial tracts.
Part of the draw for the auction will be the success story of the property’s owner Kimball Wetherington. The energetic and hard working entrepreneur began his tractor and land clearing business in 1983, and is a key figure in the growth and development of eastern Hillsborough County. Wetherington Tractor Service(WTS) along with its 90 employees, serves many interests throughout the state of Florida and includes projects such as land preparation for housing developments, retail businesses, commercial sites, utilities and roadways.
"Our company (WTS) will continue to operate as it always has. Historically, we have been at the forefront of our industry. We are looking forward to allowing more of the day to day operations of WTS be handled by our managers and employees. Reducing our Florida real estate holdings will give us more time to focus on both WTS and our Colorado ranch and its cattle and timber interests," stated Wetherington.
