HOUGHTON The Houghton County Board of Commissioners approved the sale of two lots at the Houghton County Airpark to a proposed charter school at its monthly meeting Tuesday.Â
The county sold lots 19 and 20 of the airpark to the Copper Island Academy for $50,000.Â
The lots have been up for sale for almost seven years now, said Airport Manager Dennis Hext.Â
“So this is a good deal for the county because they don’t have all the utilities that other lots in the industrial park have,” he said.Â
Power and water run to the site already, Hext said. The academy would be responsible for lining up sewer, internet and other services.
