COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved an agreement and resolution Monday night to have the City’s engineering firm begin the design work for the first phase of the Western Meadows project in the area of Western Avenue and State Street.
The City bought the approximately 15-acre parcel on the west side of Western Avenue in 2016 for $95,816 in hopes it can be developed similar to the Thompson Blvd. project.
City Manager Keith Baker said a proposal was solicited from the city’s engineering firm, Fishbeck, and Jeff Brown, its Senior Vice President, to begin the design work for the first phase of the project.
Utilities and infrastructure would be constructed in phases and lots sold to single family home builders with the lot sales and possible tax increment financing district reimbursing the City for the project costs.
The proposal included a survey of the entire parcel off Western Avenue. The cost for the professional engineering services is $42,500 which covers the survey and the design.
