COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved an $1,000 offer from Branch County Habitat for Humanity on Monday night to buy the vacant lot at 29 Lawton Avenue for the construction of a new single family residence.
A draft sales agreement was presented to the City Council on July 26.
The Council put the offer on the table for 30 days under terms of the City Charter concerning the sale of public property. Monday’s meeting was the first regularly scheduled meeting after the 30-day time period at which the sale could be acted upon.
City Manager Keith Baker says the site is the former location of a residential structure that was demolished in 2018.
Now vacant, he says the parcel is sufficiently sized for a new residential structure. The lot is about 77 feet in width by 132 feet in depth.
The property was acquired by the City through the State of Michigan tax foreclosure program.
