MARQUETTE — The city of Marquette will soon have its hands on another piece of lakeshore property.
The Marquette City Commission voted 7-0 at its April 26 meeting to approve a purchase agreement with the Robert T. Anthony Trust for the sale of 702 N. Lakeshore Blvd. The private residential property at the corner of Lakeshore and Hewitt Avenue lies on the Lake Superior side of the street, and the city intends to preserve the land for public use.
