City Council To Vote on Rehabilitation Resolution For Neumann Leather Building

City council will vote tonight on a revision to a 2011 resolution that designated the Neumann Leather property as “an area in need of rehabilitation.”

A state appellate court threw out the resolution last week, saying that the city missed a state sewage statute by using the word “or” instead of “and.”

Mayor Zimmer said the city should be able to re-approve the property, which was sold on September 26, for rehabilitation.

The developers hope to turn the property into “a very viable centerpiece for the town,” and are vying for “a really elegant town-tenant solution.”
