Last night’s city council meeting saw a subdued replay of its July 20 meeting when a standing-room only crowd of irate Maxwelltown residents complained about flooding in their basements and general slowness of sewer construction and street paving in their low-lying section of town next to Manistee Lake.
Funds to ‘sell the area’
In an effort to promote economic growth in Manistee, the Manistee County Board of Commissioners pledged $3,000 for additional personnel to be employed to “sell the area” during Tuesday morning’s session. Last month, the board supported the concept of forming an economic development center as an adjunct to the Manistee County Chamber of Commerce. Presently, efforts to attract more industries are being made through the Industrial Development Committee and the Economic Development Committee.
