COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Kalamazoo County’s Comstock Township will soon new offices, as they relocate down the street to Niko’s Landing banquet facility.
Township Supervisor Randy Thompson made an announcement at Monday’s township board meeting that they’ve come to an agreement to purchase the building near the corner of Kings Highway and River Street in Comstock Township’s Downtown Development Authority.
Thompson said the current township hall was built in the late 1960’s and the setup makes it physically difficult to access for some residents. He also said the township looked at building a new hall but the $2 million to $4 million price tag put it out of range.
The banquet hall was built 26 years ago.
WOOD-TV says the purchase price was not disclosed at the meeting, but township officials said they will have to use some General Fund money, as well as $820,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds from the federal government for the purchase. General Fund money will also be used for the remodeling.
