Use of paper mill land for Habitat not in best interest of the public
As I understand the proposal, the city buys the 1 1/2 acre paper mill property for $150,000 and prepares the lots for Habitat for Humanity to build three homes for Title 8 tenants.
My first concern about this plan is cost. Up to $200,000 may be spent by the city for purchase and clearance of land to be given or leased to a private charity. I suppose no real estate tax will be collected in the future.
