Summary

Councilors considered purchasing the Troxel property across from town facilities for $25,000 as a way to eliminate blight and create future parking or park amenities such as a splash pad. Town staff warned cleanup and demolition costs could add $15,000–$30,000 or more, potentially bringing total project costs to $45,000–$50,000.
