Warrington Council is set to buy a Tesco supermarket site as part of its property portfolio.
The council is adding the Farnworth site to its portfolio in a £40m deal designed to generate revenue for council services.
The council already owns other similar sites including one in Hulme and another in Warrington.
Council leader, Cllr Russ Bowden, said: “These will deliver significant income returns for the council.”
