“The (finance) committee felt that it would be much better to expedite this, instead of waiting until January, to let Mr. Hansen deal with opinions,” said council president Steve Turany.

Members did approve a Certified Survey Map for J & M Larson Rentals LLC, at 704/808 South Third Street/ State Hwy. 27, completed by Denzine Surveying Inc. The Larsons want to divide the property into two lots and since it’s zoned industrial, the parcel could house anything, such as a hotel or some other business.

The lots have highway access, as well as access to the Old Abe Trail on the other side, making it a unique property.

“I think there’s potential out there for the right person to figure something out,” said M. Larson.

Also discussed, was an event Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 2-6 p.m., at the council chambers, where the Chippewa County Public Health will provide free water testing for private supplies. Residents of surrounding towns are welcome to have their well water tested, even if the system is filter, just to be sure it is not contaminated.

“It’s not mandatory, it’s just an outreach service,” said city administrator Dave DeJongh.
