CONWAY — A complex of four vacant industrial buildings at 209 Hobbs St. in Conway Village has been purchased by Tom Henriksen, president of Ceramco Inc., for $910,000.

The 4.4-acre property was sold June 30 by Carroll County Leasing's Makena Hergert of New Castle, widow of late Chick Lumber owner Tom Hergert. Hergert had bought the property in 2002 from O. Lee Gregory for $375,000, according to Conway Assessing Clerk Corie Hilton. Gregory had bought it from the parent company of J.V. Components in 1987 for $430,000 but that one of the buildings was damaged by heavy snowload in 1999 and that is believed to b=have accounted for the lower sales price in 2002..
