Sherburne makes plans for business park
SHERBURNE – The Village of Sherburne has operated its electric department out of the same building for 100 years, but after making offers to purchase a 68-acre parcel of land with the idea of creating a business park, the building probably won’t see 100 more.
The village has submitted purchase offers for the property with a purchase price of $185,000 for the 68-acre site located on Classic Street. “We’ve been trying to upgrade our electric building,” Acee said. “We bought the site for the electric department.”
The current electric department building housed the village’s first generator. The village celebrated 100 years of providing municipal electricity last summer.
In recent years the village has had problems with the building. The bucket trucks have increased in size over the years and no longer fit inside. Water drainage has become an issue, and due to a lack of space, transformers have to be stored outside, which becomes an issue when electrical repairs are needed during snowy and icy weather. In addition, the site does not have enough space to sustain the village pole yard, which is currently located on another small exterior site just off of North Main Street. The pole yard is made up of a small fenced in area, with little room for trucks to maneuver.
“We decided it might be a good idea to put it all over there, (on the Classic Street site) the electric department, the pole yard and the Department of Public Works,” Acee explained.
No formal plans have been made for the land development, but Acee discussed the possibility of creating a pole barn that would allow trucks to drive in one end, load up and drive out the other end. According to Acee, creating an enclosed area for the poles and transformers would help workers make speedy repairs, especially during winter weather, when materials become covered in snow and ice.
Acee said the village has not yet put together any formal cost estimates for the project. Once the land has been formally purchased, the village will move forward with the creation of cost estimates and a time frame. “We haven’t gotten to that point yet,” Acee said. “We are concentrating on getting the site first.”
Creating the business park is one way the village hopes to promote economic development.
