City considers architectural help for 'speculative' building

City commissioners are expected to consider hiring architectural and engineering services for a speculative building at the new industrial site north of Nebraska City near the solid waste transfer station.

A 40,000-square-foot, steel framed building is proposed to provide prospective business and manufacturers a starting point in the city.

The issue of hiring an architect is scheduled at the city council meeting at 5:50 p.m. on Monday, March 4.

The proposed building would be located near G Road, north of a former residence.

City Clerk Arnold Ehlers said the plan is to build the shell of a building that could accommodate between one to five tenants.

Tenants would order flooring, plumbing and electrical configurations to meet their particular needs.
