Two Harbors council authorizes talks on golf-course parcel for moderate-income housing; orders liquor-store appraisal
Summary
Council authorized city attorney and administrator to discuss a plan with P & R Property Management to develop a golf-course driving-range parcel for moderate-use housing and approved seeking appraisal of the city-owned liquor store and adjacent property.
The Two Harbors City Council on Sept. 25 authorized City Attorney Costley and City Administrator Patricia D. Nordean to begin discussions with P & R Property Management about developing a parcel currently used for the golf course driving range into moderate-use housing. The motion carried, but the transcript records no development agreement or specific terms.
Separately, the council approved administration seeking an appraisal of the city-owned liquor store and neighboring property, directing staff to proceed with valuation work. Both actions were moved by Councilor Conner; the meeting minutes record the delegation of authority to city staff to pursue preliminary discussions and appraisal work but do not commit the city to a sale or redevelopment.
Council’s administrative report had earlier noted ongoing housing discussions, including HRA activity and the potential for a local housing trust fund; Administrator Nordean said the HRA cannot apply for certain matching funds and that either the city or counties must do so. The transcript records a $20,000 HRA contribution to a project with THHS discussed in staff reports, and the council directed staff to explore housing options consistent with those earlier updates.
