e e e Page 2 Minutes of the Elk River City Council October 10, 1988 Mr. Fursman suggested that in an effort to save the County Courthouse from destruction, the use of Tax Increment Financing dollars could be used generated from the new restaurant to relocate the Courthouse at the Kelly Farm. Mr. Fursman stated that the Kelly Farm, ran by Tom Woods, had not been approached with this development option and could not predict how the Historical Society would react to such a proposal. Several Councilmembers felt that moving the Courthouse to the Kelly Farm would be a logical compromise if the development were to occur. Mr. Fursman stated his impression that everybody would have to give a little if this project were to proceed. The Council agreed that the development of the Courthouse property would require the City's participation if the property is ever to be used commercially.
