Summary
The December 2013 Beaver Beacon reports that the Charlevoix County Road Commission proposed a rent-to-partial-buy arrangement for a planned $1.5 million Beaver Island garage. The proposal called for $6,000 annual rent for 20 years, with the Road Commission also covering utilities and maintenance. County commissioners debated whether partial ownership should begin after 20 or 40 years.
Evidence limits
The issue documents a proposal and competing terms, not construction, approval of the final agreement, or completion of the garage.
