The city of Manitowoc is making a big move with the former Lakeshore and Mid-Cities Mall Property.
Thursday night, following a closed session at a Committee of the Whole meeting, a motion was made to purchase three parcels of the property located between Memorial and Johnston Drive.
However, this would be subject to the approval of all documentation by attorneys.
Council President Eric Sitkitwitz told Seehafer News he couldn’t say much about what’s next because the paperwork needs to come through first.
But he did say the movement on the purchase has been in the works for the last 15 years.
In September, the city blighted the property to try and get the area developed.
The last store at the mall was the now former Younkers, which closed in 2018.
