Town of Medora: Town approves three-year plastic-factory parking lease at $100 a year
Town of Medora: The town board approved entering a three-year lease for parking at the former plastic factory, with the annual lease payment set at $100. The discussion also called for limits on stored equipment—generally one vehicle or one vehicle-and-trailer per user—and liability protections, though the final contract terms and parking-area dimensions still need to be prepared. Officials said the lessee would pay the contract-related cost. Separately, the town is awaiting a meeting with state grant officials about a federal grant that could allow its wastewater project to proceed, but no award was confirmed. The meeting also covered a potential Office 365 purchase estimated at roughly $12 to $14.95 per month, but no approval was recorded. Nine puppies remain in town care pending state certificates, vaccinations and spay/neuter procedures before adoption.
