Empire leaders look forward to future needs

Empire will be moving forward with a $70,000 contract with Renovare, a Ypsilantibased real estate development company, that was originally tasked with helping the village find a new office. The original contract ($70,000) has been invoiced through $50,000.

After Empire found a new office on its own in April. However, they village is still obligated to the $70,000 contract.

In a May 16 special meeting, Renovare representative Jill Ferrari discussed “Place Strategies and Renovare” which says they are willing to provide a plan and a toolbox of options available should a developer express interest in developing land in Empire; a schematic of the current DPW Building and possible improvements made to the building.
