Mayor says local group has expressed interest in water-plant parcel to lure grocery store back to Nokomis
Summary
During an executive session on March 10, 2025, Mayor Goldsmith told the City Council a local group expressed interest in buying the parcel by the water plant to incentivize a grocery store’s return; the group must develop a formal proposal and no sale decision was made.
During an executive session of the City Council of the City of Nokomis on March 10, 2025, Mayor Goldsmith reported that a local group had approached him about acquiring the parcel by the city’s water plant to help attract a grocery store back to town. The mayor said he simply wanted the council to be aware of the contact and that it would be up to the group to put together a formal proposal for council consideration.
The minutes do not record any formal direction or vote on the property and say the matter was noted for future presentation. The record treats this discussion as part of the executive-session business on property pricing and negotiations; the council has not announced any terms, timelines, or next steps beyond requesting a formal proposal from the interested group.
"He just wanted to let everyone know that he was approached about the subject," Mayor Goldsmith said, according to the minutes. The minutes refer to the group generically; the text used the spelling "Newkomis group," which appears to be a transcript typo and is rendered here as the local group in Nokomis to reflect the city name used elsewhere in the record.
