The Hancock City Council could vote to proceed with the purchase of the Houghton County Arena at its meeting tonight.
A public hearing on the proposal will begin at 6:00, in advance of the council’s regular meeting. Potential approval of the purchase agreement is on the agenda. Houghton County has agreed to transfer the arena to the City for $1.00.
Council members will also consider approving a contract with OHM to oversee construction of a new road salt storage facility. The current facility is undersized, and requires part of the supply to be stored outdoors.
Since 80 percent of the salt stored in Hancock is used by the Michigan Department of Transportation, MDOT has agreed to cover 80 percent of the construction cost.
The council also has several commission and board appointments to consider.
The meeting begins at 6:00 at City Hall. For the agenda and online access instructions, click here.
