May 16, 1996

Still reeling from the sting of the Land O’ Lakes tax settlement which will cost the city up to $30,000 a year in revenue, the Browerville City Council voted to table the West 6th Street project until they have time to review financing. There is not enough money in the general fund to cover the project’s cost even though bids came in at $10,000 below the engineer’s estimate of $72,420.
