A farmer’s market, trail-related shop were among ideas pondered at last week’s meeting.
Approximately 30 calls ranging from established banquet-type facilities to “mom and pop” start-ups were fielded regarding the Sappington Barn Center Request for Proposals issued in February.

The site was shown to 5-7 people, and after initial interest died down, Eckrich discussed the issue with the city administrator and the mayor, …
