Riverboat Available Again for Limited Time in Invitation to Bid Sale
Bidding Closes June 8
PADUCUH, Ky., May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The North Star Riverboat, formerly a casino, is being offered in an "invitation to bid" sale format, closing June 8.
The boat was offered at a live auction this past February, but due to financial complications with the previous buyer, Stuart B. Millner & Associates (SBMA)—the asset management company conducting the auction—put the boat back on the market.
The North Star Riverboat is located on the Ohio River at 133 Rose Drive, Ledbetter, KY 42058. According to SBMA officials, the current status of the river being low makes it the most logical and convenient time to purchase the boat.
