STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) -- A popular restaurant from years gone by that’s been closed has now been bought by the city of Stevens Point.
Mickey’s is at the intersection of North 2nd Street and Maria Drive will be torn down to improve the intersection, which has a very narrow stretch of Maria Drive alongside the building’s south wall.
City Attorney Andrew Logan Beveridge says the city has come to terms with the Joan Lodzinski Survivor’s Trust to complete the deal. “The next step would be for the city to draft a commercial offer to purchase. We’d have to fill in some of the blanks regarding closing date, proration of taxes, those types of detail items that you have in a typical real estate closing, but then we’d submit the offer to the property owners and we anticipate that they would accept it.”
Beveridge says the price has been finalized. “The property owners have not signed it yet, but it was negotiated. It’s $87,000 dollars for purchase of the property, which both parties feel that that’s a fair compensation for the real estate.”
Once the property changes ownership, the city will tear down the restaurant building, and begin planning the street intersection improvements.
