Summary

Mayor Michael Driver said he received a letter of intent to buy city land and the council asked him to contact Habitat for Humanity to see if a land swap would allow the city to assemble two lots on Spring St for a possible historic site or park.

Mayor Michael Driver reported he received a letter of intent from an interested buyer for city-owned property and led a council discussion about two specific lots. Council members noted that Habitat for Humanity had previously expressed interest in a property on Spring Street by the tracks. The council asked the mayor to contact Habitat for Humanity to explore whether they would consider swapping the land they own for the city’s property at 216 S. Duff Ave. If a swap were arranged, the city would own two lots on Spring Street adjacent to the tracks, which council members said could be used in the future as a historical location or a park.

The council did not vote on any sale or swap at the meeting; the action requested of the mayor was outreach to explore options and report back.
