– End of “News Briefs” article –

This meeting was part of the regularly scheduled City of Allegan Council meetings. Our purpose for attending and speaking was to express our intent to begin conversations/negotiations with the City on how a deal could be structured and confirm what the monthly costs would be. A final agreement has not been reached, and no commitments have been made.

At this point the City of Allegan is just one of the options we have available to us. We will not know if they are the best option until we have completed discussions with them and a final and clear package of costs (initial and ongoing) are confirmed.

Thanks you for your continued interest and if you have any question please e-mail Sam Martin or call (616) 378-0356.
