4/5/13 - Oceola Township officials voted Thursday to buy land adjacent to the township hall. The property, formerly owned by the 2/42 Community Church, was the churchâs administrative offices. Since building a new facility in Genoa Township, the church is selling the property for $325,000. Debbie Mikula, Director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority, tells WHMI the township already has plans for the 10 acre property, such as extra parking for the soccer field located behind the township hall. Mikula says it will not need a lot of work, as it already looks like a community center. The building has a large room which is currently used as a sanctuary and smaller classroom spaces which are similar to the two facilities that Parks and Recreation already runs. The township has ordered an inspection on the building, although they do not know yet when they will begin to use it. $3,000 of the purchase price has been put into escrow.(DK)
