The Town of Robbins seeks parties interested in a lease, lease/purchase, or purchase option for reuse of the three-story Robbins Historic Police Building (CBD zoning), located at 110 S. Middleton Street in Robbins, within the downtown business district. The town encourages submittals from businesses and individuals with an interest in retaining the character of the NC Works Progress Administration building built circa 1936-1938 building while adaptively reusing it as a viable business or community resource venture.
The Town of Robbins is in northern Moore County, in central North Carolina. The town has a growing population of 1579 residents. Recent residential growth includes military families, retirees, and commuters from Randolph and Chatham County or Southern parts of Moore County.

The building is three (3) stories totaling 9,583 sq/ft on .22 acres. It has associated parking and is adjacent to a town parking lot. The property is served by town water and sewer service. Nearby NC HWY 24/27 has an average daily traffic count of 11,000 vehicle trips per day. The building also enjoys NC Hwy 705 frontage which flows through downtown Robbins.

The abatement included an interior demolition to the studs; plumbing and electrical is still emplaced. The gutted building is ready to rebuild while preserving the remaining unique features of the structure.
