Former Hagerstown Herald-Mail HQ hits auction block in Western Maryland

A Western Maryland landmark is hitting the auction block this month — and the building’s new owner will get a chance to buy into a renaissance project in downtown Hagerstown. The former headquarters of the Hagerstown Herald-Mail newspaper is being auctioned by the state at noon on May 24. The sale will be held at the former newspaper office building and printing press at 100 Summit Ave., which sits next to a 5,000-seat sports complex that is under construction and will open next spring.
