PARKING - PROPERTY AT MAIN AND BURKE
Councilman Province presented information regarding a request by Ms. Nancy Chrisman on behalf of the Downtown Association requesting a parking lot at Main and Burke Street. The proposal was to pay Mr. Jerry Halsey $25,000 for the purchase of additional land located near property already owned by the City of Jonesboro, then let lease him a place for his advertising sign for $1.00. The question was asked if a parking lot could not be created without moving Mr. Halsey’s sign. It was explained that public parking could be created without the Halsey property by using Cate Street as the ingress location. Mayor Brodell was asked to do a title search, get a legal description in preparation of a deed before a recommendation could be made.
