Burlington officials ended seven months of speculation by offering 280000 for 70 acres of lakefront land owned by Consolidated Rendering Corp. The bid, tied to a 191000 federal grant and a 200000 bond, falls far from Corenco’s 800000 asking price. Company representatives were disappointed and no reply is expected for 30 days.
