GENESEO — Dave and Betty Ernst presented a plan to the Geneseo City Council on Aug. 25 for a new sports complex on 26 acres of land they hope to donate to the city. The proposal outlines a facility with state‑of‑the‑art soccer and pickleball fields designed to expand recreation options for residents.
In other business, the Ford Road sanitary project is moving forward after Central Excavating submitted the low bid of $924,598.10. As part of the work, electrical lines in the area will be moved underground.
Affinity Growth Community Developers recently purchased land on the north side of Ford Road with plans to annex the property into the city and develop it. The project will require an additional manhole.
The city has agreed to recoup the cost of the installation if the development does not proceed.
The council also confirmed Jameson Weisser as deputy chief of police with an annual salary of $109,000.
