COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved a one year lease on Monday night with a non-profit corporation formed by community members who want to turn the former Putnam Funeral Home at 11 East Chicago into a community center.
City Attorney Megan Angell went over the details.
The City’s financial obligation would be capped at $20,000.
The group’s Kathy Bappert says the enthusiasm in the community for the project is overwhelming.
Bappert is hoping the building will be open during the Christmas Parade on December 3.
The agreement was introduced during the Council’s meeting on September 26.
The non-profit group is called the Coldwater Community Center Incorporated. They believe that a public/private partnership is the ideal way to restore and utilize the building.
