Local childcare foundation outlines plan for daycare, gym and community space; seeks city land lease
Summary
Representatives presented plans for a multi-use childcare facility including daycare, a gymnasium and meeting space and asked the city to consider leasing land near the water tower; council took the presentation for consideration but made no formal commitment.
At the Nov. 10 Bennet City Council meeting councilors Josh Buck and Jesse Schmidt and Cassie Wemhoff presented information about a proposed childcare foundation building intended to provide daycare, a gymnasium, meeting space and possibly space for a library or historical society.
Council members described the concept and said the group hoped to lease city-owned ground near the water tower to site the building. No formal lease or land transfer was approved at the meeting; the council heard the presentation and indicated staff follow-up would be required before any formal action.
The presentation included a conceptual mix of services (daycare, gym, meeting space and possible library/historical society area) and expressed interest in partnering with the city on site selection and potential lease terms. Councilors did not set dates for further action at the Nov. 10 meeting; the matter appears likely to return to a future agenda for detailed review, including site, lease terms and funding options.
