SALEM, OR-Marion County is auctioning the 30,000-sf Franklin Building rather than pay the $1 million it would cost to renovate and lease up the structure. Commissioners voted unanimously last week to sell the historic brick building at High and State streets to the highest bidder March 30.

Save for some non-profit agencies that are receiving free rent, the building has been largely vacant since the county consolidated its offices last year at Courthouse Square.
