Broken Bow council authorizes $270,000 purchase of Armory from State of Nebraska
Summary
The City of Broken Bow approved Resolution 2027-19 authorizing the city administrator to sign a $270,000 purchase agreement with the State of Nebraska to buy the Armory; the city has not yet decided how it will use the property.
The Broken Bow City Council approved Resolution 2027-19 on Dec. 10, 2024, authorizing City Administrator Dave Schmidt to sign a purchase agreement with the State of Nebraska to buy the Armory for $270,000.
During discussion, Administrator Dave Schmidt told the council the resolution grants him authority to execute the purchase agreement and said the city has not yet determined the property's ultimate use, but is "exploring various options." The motion to approve the resolution was made by Councilmember Russ Smith and seconded by Councilmember Travis Kleeb. The resolution passed by a unanimous roll call vote of Smith, Kleeb, Wamsley and Holland.
The minutes do not record a planned use, a financing source, or a timetable for redevelopment; those matters appear to remain under staff review. The resolution authorizes the administrator to complete purchase-related actions and to return to the council with details or requests for follow-up approvals as needed.
