Bell's to Purchase U.P. Property in Escanaba
The Upper Peninsula may soon be welcoming a major player into its craft beer scene. On April 25th Escanaba's city council is expected to approve an offer from Mr. Larry Bell, president of Bell's Brewery, to purchase two parcels of land for the amount of $35,000. The property sits in Escanaba's Whitetail Industrial Park (Street View of parcel: http://goo.gl/maps/xm48K ), an area that the city has been developing for several years. Mr. Bell is also requesting the right of first offer to purchase additional land to the west.
