(5) The director of the department shall first offer the
property described in subsection (1) for sale for $1.00 to the
local units of government in which the property is located. To
exercise its right to purchase the property under this subsection,
a local unit of government shall complete the purchase within 180
days after the effective date of this act. Conveyance of any
portion of the property for $1.00 is subject to the conditions
prescribed in subsections (7) and (8).
(6) If the property described in subsection (1) or any portion

deposited in the general fund.
