An ordinance that will propose the sale of the Bellefontaine Armory, 1021 S. Main St., to Wawa Midwest LLC, will make its first appearance before the Bellefontaine City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m. 

Wawa Midwest, LLC is a Delaware-based chain that offers fuel and convenience store services and which is rapidly expanding in Ohio, having established a number of locations in the Cincinnati area and recently opened stores in Lima and Springfield.

The ordinance indicates that the sale price for the Bellefontaine Armory is listed at $550,000. The Armory straddles two parcels of land, which will both be included in the sale. 

The facility was initially dedicated in 1950.

Also up for a first reading is an ordnance that will amend the city’s permanent appropriations for 2026 to include raising the Revolving Loan House account from $10,000 to $40,000 and increase the West TIF fund from $0 to $250,000.

Two ordinances will have a third reading and final vote at Tuesday’s meeting.

The first will grant Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio a gas franchise in the city for a period of 25 years, which will automatically renew for additional periods of five years.

The second ordinance up for a final vote would vacate a 0.173 acre parcel owned by the Logan County Metropolitan Housing Authority located between the 600 blocks of North Detroit and Henry St. at the request of the VFW, Post 1080, 216 Orchard Ave.

Three ordinances are up for a second reading at Tuesday’s meeting. The first will make supplemental appropriations for recreational equipment, while the other two will allow the Service/Safety Director to advertise for bids for the 2026 street paving program and the street painting program, respectively.
