COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — After more than four years, Lowndes County finally has sold the old Health Department property. Supervisors approved selling the two acres on Military Road to Cynthia Killingsworth for $5,000. That’s what the property appraised for. Real estate agent Jeffrey Carter offered $2,500. The old building closed in 2010 after a new one opened. The city and county tore the old building down after it failed to sell, leaving just the lot.

Supervisors say Killingsworth may use the site for a barbecue outlet.
