Alma City approves sale of former Sugarbeets parcel for $70,000, cites remediation history
Summary
The commission approved sale of a former sugar‑beet processing parcel (parcel 29-51-032-256-10) to A and T South Park 3 Limited for $70,000, with staff saying combined ownership may aid cleanup and redevelopment.
The Alma City Commission approved a purchase agreement to sell a city‑owned parcel commonly called the Sugarbeets site (parcel 29-51-032-256-10) to A and T South Park 3 Limited for $70,000 and authorized the mayor to sign the agreement.
An unnamed speaker who described the parcel’s history said the city acquired part of the land as a result of an earlier environmental cleanup and that the parcel and an adjacent parcel have similar remediation issues. The speaker said Avalon Pontoon (affiliated with the buyer) has greater capacity to remediate and redevelop the combined site and that sale proceeds could be directed to near‑term capital projects such as park improvements.
The motion passed by voice vote. The commission did not identify any amendments or conditions to the sale during the meeting; details such as remediation timelines or covenants were not specified in the public remarks and will appear in the finalized purchase agreement.
