DESCRIPTION
Stevens County Economic Improvement Commission, Inc.

The property is improved with a 17,160 square foot vacant commercial building. The property is the location of the former Coborns grocery store.
The current fee owner of the property, Holiday Stationstores, Inc. has engaged with SCEIC to identify parties interested in purchasing and redeveloping this property for purposes consistent with SCEIC’ mission, and SCEIC has agreed to assist the fee owner as facilitator and clearing house for the proposals.
The site previously contained several in-ground petroleum storage tanks associated with Coborns. The tanks have been removed by Coborns. No known pollution is present and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued a “Petroleum Release Site Closure Letter”, dated 31 January 2011.
