The city will vote on the purchase of land near the Bob Bennett Complex owned by SPJST Lodge 187, a chapter of a Czech fraternal benefit society. Coming out to $1.4 million, the acquisition of the 2.9-acre property will further the building’s expansion.
The Bob Bennett Complex, which houses the city's public works divisions, is in Phase 2 of an expansion to include the community and neighborhood services and general services departments. The expansion is estimated to be fully complete by 2029.
