Viejo Bluffs Addition is the splitting of the land on the north side of where the new E. Merle Hibbs extension will be built so it will be north of the new McFarland site. The 2 lots will be able to be developed for either commercial or residential uses.
The Marshalltown City Council took several actions relating to the purchase of real estate and preparing land for future development during a regular council meeting Monday.
The real estate purchases relate to the city’s goals of demolishing buildings which were heavily damaged and uninhabitable after the tornado. FEMA requires a city to own property before being able to obligate funds toward its demolition.
