Big Rapids city commissioners will meet Monday, June 15, to discuss various proposals.
One agenda item is a resolution to purchase the property at 126 S. DeKrafft Ave. The 0.348-acre parcel would cost $16,000 at fair market value. If approved, the city would sell and transfer the property to the Big Rapids Housing Commission. This would allow construction of a single-family home in partnership with the MOISD building trades program.
Commissioners also will discuss installation of traffic control signs at the new Sandy Acres housing development. The 54-home development on the east side of Big Rapids held its ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, June 10.
