4. Ali hwa 49 old ABC store Cedar Grove This building was given to the County when the ABC store was closed and was the sole storage for surplus items awaiting auction in the County's inventory for, many years. Through the use of GovDeals, fihe on-line auction system by which the County now disposes of its surplus items, this building is no longer needed for storage purposes. The concrete block building is very small dust over ~ 004 s.f.} and other than fihe small fihree or four car parking area in fihe front of the building has no associated property.
