The 6th Cavalry could be on the move.
Catoosa County commissioners voted Tuesday to set aside money to explore buying the 107-year-old gymnasium in Fort Oglethorpe and moving the 6th Cavalry Museum to the building.
Catoosa County already had pledged $150,000 from the special purpose local option sales tax to retrofit the current museum. Its home, the former health department building on Barnhardt Circle, needs work to bring bathrooms and entryways up to code for wheelchair accessibility.
Officials say the $150,000 for the renovations could be applied instead to the purchase, so commissioners voted to approve a maximum of $200,000 in additional SPOST funding. Commissioner Ken Marks said the money would be less if the appraisal comes in under $350,000.
Commissioner Jim Cutler was the lone dissenting vote.
