The City of Coalgate filed a lawsuit on September 8 against Adam Cioni, d/b/a Cioni Machine, to either pay the shop’s delinquent rent or vacate the premises. According to an affidavit filed by City Attorney David Youngblood, Cioni is currently behind $3,000 for three months’ rent.
The affidavit states that the city has demanded Cioni vacate the property, “but to this date he remains wrongfully in possession” of three city lots and “has made no attempt to vacate the premises.” The property includes a shop building at 109 W. Ohio and empty lots that are being used for vehicle parking.
