NEGAUNEE, Mich. (WZMQ) – The City of Negaunee recently announced the results from a Special Advisory Committee meeting to determine a reuse for one historic building.
The Teal Lake Waterworks Building was once used to treat Teal Lake for water consumption, and the committee provided the city with a scope of work and estimates for renovation.
The current partnership the city has with the DNR limits the structure to be utilized for public use, and not for commercial, which coincides with the city’s desire in preservation the building.
“It’s like the first thing, and the most recognizable building people see when they come through this community. Everyone sees it no matter what,” said Negaunee City Manager Nate Heffron. “It potentially could turn into something like a visitor center, or a visitor center/type museum, type piece, for the community.”
Heffron said they are only in the early stages of planning, and members of community will have opportunity to weigh in on the building’s destiny. Future meetings will be announced when scheduled.
