After the Christmas display on the former Seyfert gas station lot on the corner of Wall and First street acquired by the city generated numerous compliments, the Eagle River City Council decided to place the proposed sale on “pause” and to explore different public uses as a mini-park downtown.
The property was purchased using a $200,000 ten year loan with an additional $35,000 cost to clean up the former gas station. The council then adopted a position to offer the site for private development.
Alderman Jerry Burkett indicated he requested the council agenda include a discussion on the future of the site.
