The Park Rapids City Council on Tuesday approved extending a revolving loan of $50,000 to Karen Acker for the business venture Wine Not? LLC.
Acker had expressed interest in buying the former Moose Creek furniture store to create a wine bar and retail shop, offering wine-making supplies and classes.
The city’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) recommended approving the loan on March 29, but the council tabled the question on April 13 in order to give City Administrator Angel Weasner time to discuss issues with Acker regarding her state liquor license.
