At the most recent meeting of the Bessemer City Council, the council voted on a couple of requests from local residents. According to TheDailyGlobe, Todd Meinke of Meinke Construction requested to purchase an unwanted lot of city property. The council said yes to the purchase of Tilden location Lot 2 for $1. Meinke said he intends to first clear the property, install a driveway and then build a 3-bedroom home with a detached garage. Michael Wolfe petitioned for an extension for construction on a lot he owns as theres been a delay with construction on his home.
