NORTH PORT – The North Port City Commission will view the 90% construction documents for Phase I of the Warm Mineral Springs Improvement plan at its regular meeting Tuesday, and pick a funding source for the project, which includes restoration of the three historic buildings there.
Tuesday’s meeting, which is set for a 10:15 a.m., will mark the first time the entire board will view plans for what could be a $19.5 million expenditure on the 83-acre park, which includes the 21.6-acre historic Warm Mineral Springs and three historically significant buildings and 61.4-acres of surrounding park land.
