Public-Private Partnership to Build City Hall in Stanley, ND

From the Grand Forks Herald:

A group that includes Earl Pomeroy is proposing to build a much-needed City Hall in Stanley using a public-private partnership funding model.

Potential investors, an architect and Pomeroy, the former North Dakota Congressman who now works for a Washington, D.C., law firm, met with Stanley City Council members Tuesday to outline their idea.

Under the proposal, private investors would finance the construction of a new City Hall and lease the building to the city, said Pomeroy, legal counsel for Alston & Bird LLP. The agreement would allow the city the option to buy the building at some point in the future, Pomeroy said.
