Bingham Resigning from Economic Development Coalition Board
Councilor Eric Bingham will step down from the Sweetwater Economic Development Coalition board by year's end so a business-community member can take the seat.
Liquor Catering Permits for Pool Tournament
Three liquor catering permits let the Ponderosa Bar serve alcohol at a pool tournament at Bunning Hall in Green River November 6-8. Because the venue is in Green River, that city's council must also approve.
First Security Bank Building claim settled
The council let the $75,000 offer for the old downtown bank building die, but agreed to open bids to the public through June 19. Local investor Phil Stanton pushed for the city to be a cooperative partner on any redevelopment. The city's real aim is shedding an $8 million liability, not making a profit.
Downtown event closures and business impact
Downtown street closures approved for the Legion charity run and Rods & Rails car show, plus malt beverage permits for two big fairgrounds events.
