The vacant lot at 603 E.Main St., Warsaw, was officially signed over to Habitat for Humanity Friday afternoon. David Blackwell of Century 21 and Kay Young of Todd Realty in Syracuse met at Bodkin Abstract to take care of the closing service, title insurance and paperwork. The property was donated by Associates Financial Services Co.at Blackwell's suggestion.Young also has been closely involved with this project and has been making plans for the lot. Warsaw building inspector and assistant building commissioner Pam Kennedy said this is the first time she's heard of a lot being donated to Habitat in Warsaw. The first thing Habitat for Humanity needs is a corporate sponsor or a church to fund the building of a house on the property.The sponsor's donation will be tax deductible.
