Mayville council approves resolution to apply for Dodge County grant to convert former meat market into community park
Summary
Council authorized applying to the Dodge County Community Development Fund to demolish the former meat market at 102–108 S. Main Street and redevelop the parcel as a community park, committing a 50% local match (estimated $370,000).
The Mayville common council approved a resolution authorizing submission of a grant application to the Dodge County Community Development Fund to partially fund demolition of the former meat market at 102–108 South Main Street and to redevelop the property as a community park.
The resolution, which the council said was required before applying for county funds, commits the city to provide at least 50% of total project costs as a local match. Staff estimated the city’s 50% share could be about $370,000, with the total project estimated at approximately $753,000. Council discussed financing options including using TIF proceeds or bonding and noted the city already owns the parcel.
A motion to approve the resolution carried on a voice/roll call; council members agreed the grant application was a necessary step to pursue downtown revitalization and that if funds are awarded, the city would finalize plans and financing.
