NEWBURYPORT â A proposal to purchase the surplus National Guard maintenance building at 57 Low St. will appear before the City Council on Monday, but officials still have questions.Â
During a joint Committee on Budget and Finance and Committee on Planning and Development meeting Thursday, councilors debated how the city would use the property, whether it should receive a conservation restriction, and whether the property is safe.
Mayor Donna Holaday has proposed that the city use $220,000 from the cityâs free cash fund to buy the property.
During an interview Dec. 4 with internet radio host Joe DiBiase on Local Pulse, Holaday said this is an opportunity the city âcanât pass up,â especially with a limited amount of land left in the city to purchase.Â
