Glencoe City Council donates house to Habitat for Humanity

The Glencoe City Council approved the donation of a house in the Creekside subdivision near Miller Manufacturing to Habitat for Humanity.
The city purchased the house earlier in the year for $182,500 as part of the development of the Creekside industrial park development.
Habitat for Humanity plans on moving the house in spring 2015. Habitat asked the city if it would heat the house during the winter to keep it in good shape. Habitat will reimburse the city for the expenses.
City Administrator Mark Larson had previously looked into auctioning and then removing the house, but discovered the costs were too high for the benefit.
