The impending demolition of the Houghton’s big downtown parking deck will take another step forward today.
City officials will host contractors interested in taking on the project at a pre-bid meeting.
Because of the scope of the project, Houghton city manager Eric Waara told the city council last week that they had gone beyond the usual local advertising…
Waara said a larger pool of contractors usually produces lower bids, and there has been interest…
Contractors interested in the job need to submit bids by April 12th.
Waara provided the latest update last night, at the city planning commission meeting, and noted that information about parking options will be forthcoming soon.
The planning commission approved an addition to the Pepsi Cola of Houghton building on Sharon Avenue, and also rubber-stamped an expansion of the deck on the Lakeshore Drive side of the Keweenaw Brewing Company’s downtown outlet. A lower level will be added, and lighting will be upgraded.
