The City of Mora is the owner of the site which it acquired in early 2008 as a potential site for a new public library. In May 2008 the city contracted to have the then existing feed mill razed (including the foundation) and the excavation backfilled. Subsequently the city’s plans changed regarding the library and the council decided to request proposals for the sale and development of the property.
The redevelopment site is located downtown on the southwest corner of the intersection of Union Street and Forest Avenue. The site is located on the same block as a senior apartment building, a bakery, a small office building, and a movie theater. The site is level and located in the city’s B-1 Central Business District. The redevelopment site is served by public utilities, including water, sanitary sewer, electricity, and natural gas.
