An affiliate of the regional school bus operator Montauk Student Transport LLC recently paid $1.3 million for an industrial property at 301 Sixth Ave. in Verplanck.

The 5.5.-acre parcel on the Hudson River includes two buildings totaling 6,000 square feet of industrial space, according to Houlihan-Parnes Realtors LLC. Steve McCulloch of Houlihan-Parnes represented the buyer, Worth Properties LLC.
