The City of South Bend is poised for the wholesale disposal of some of its retail properties downtown.

Storefronts on the ground floor of the Leighton and Wayne Street parking garages are in line to be sold to a private company for $600,000.

A final decision on the deal is expected on Thursday.

If the sale goes through, real estate company Cressy and Everett would have to honor the leases of the current tenants.
