HANCOCK The first of 13 vacant lots at Spruce Haven has sold.
The Hancock City Council approved a purchase agreement for Spruce Haven’s Lot 1 for $20,500 at its meeting Wednesday, down $500 from the initial asking price. The subdivision is located near the UP Health System Portage hospital.
The city hired realtor Kristine Weidner to sell the parcels at its March 3 meeting. An offer has already been made on another of the parcels, City Manager Mary Babcock said at the meeting.
“It’s great to see some movement up in that subdivision, so we’re definitely looking forward to building up in that area,” she said.
