HURLEY — The Hurley City Council on Tuesday approved a parcel purchase for the non-motorized Iron Belle Trail.
The deal had been negotiated over many months.
The council agreed to pay $5,000 to Canadian National for the small parcel.
Mayor Joe Pinardi praised city attorney Ray O’Dea for getting the railroad to come down on its original asking price of $22,000.
A grant from the Gogebic Range Health Foundation will cover the $5,000, Pinardi noted.
The city will send in $1,000 in advance for the parcel and be reimbursed for that amount.
