The deal is contingent on some repairs including the roof, the basement, and approval from the Board of Health for the installation of a septic system.

The agreement between DFCU and BCC is expected to be signed by Aug. 20 and the closing is scheduled to take place 30 days after the septic system is approved by the board of health.
