Deal on land for Curtis Road up for vote

CHAMPAIGN – The city council on Tuesday will consider a tentative deal to buy 22 acres of property that is critical to the next phase of the Curtis Road project.

Council members are being asked to approve spending part of up to $780,000 to buy the property from Adolf and Renee Lo. Two other local governments participating in the Curtis Road project – the village of Savoy and Champaign County – have accepted the deal.
