City to buy Adventist church site for 4.45 million
Freder ick city officials vote to purchase the Lacrs site once home to a Seventh day Adventist church destroyed by fire. The 4.45 million deal, near Harry Grove Stadium, will be financed by bonds with a six to 30 month closing window and a $100000 deposit. Some aldermen raised concerns about affordability zoning and revenue to support the plan while others favored securing the property for future use such as a sports club or community center.
