The Marshall Municipal Utilities Board of Public Works discussed the possibility of paying for the demolition of dilapidated buildings on the property formerly known as the Marshall Habilitation Center during its meeting on Thursday, March 11.
MMU General Manager Jeff Bergstrom explained he and controller Tony Bersano had a meeting with City Administrator David Haugland and two city council members for a funding request.
Bersano said the natural gas reserve account has $2.5 million invested and $780,000 in the operating account. He said the investment doesn’t mature until August, so by pulling it out, there will be a penalty. Bergstrom says the only concern is something major going wrong.
