(KNSI) – Adding to park space and road improvements downtown are on the agenda for Monday’s Sauk Rapids City Council meeting.
Administrator Ross Olson says the city has made it a priority to buy back land along the Mississippi River. The home that is under discussion Monday for demolition is in the 1300 block of River Avenue North. The lot and small home recently reverted to the city per an agreement with the former owner.
Olson says the retired Saint Cloud State University professor sold the house to Sauk Rapids and was allowed to live there until she either passed away or moved into an assisted living facility. A similar arrangement is open for other homeowners on the water.
A gazebo and some other infrastructure may be put up once the home has been torn down. Olson says this property will probably not have a playground.
Also on the agenda is a discussion about road work for next year along Division Street, which stretches from South Benton Drive and the Old Capital Tavern to 8th Avenue North.
