Good morning District 5! Last night’s council meeting agenda is posted for your perusal. Meeting was less than 20 minutes, but if your considering some “off the grid” self sustaining farming, you may want to pay attention to chickens within corporate limits discussion. It was tabled for the time being.
On a side note, not council business. I learned the Eckhart Public Library has hired a person to use lasers in an attempt to make Pigeons uncomfortable roosting at the library.

Welcome to Auburn Kevin and Co.

Mayor Ley and the City of Auburn wish to welcome Kevin Minard and the Auburn Development Group to Downtown Auburn!

After months and years of speculation, an iconic building in downtown Auburn has a new owner. Kevin Minard and the Auburn Development Group finalized the purchase of the Auburn Hotel on Friday, February 24, 2023.

“We are really excited about the potential this property holds for the City of Auburn,” Minard said. “It's an intriguing old building that has a great deal of history and character, and it’s such a rare privilege to work on something with the intricacy and artisanship of these pre-1900 buildings.”

“The City is very excited to see the transfer of ownership of the property finalized after years of striving to acquire it,” said Mayor Ley. “We are equally excited about the vision for redevelopment of the property. Congratulations to Mr. Minard and the Auburn Development Group. And welcome to the City of Auburn.”


“We want to take the time and care to do this in a way that honors the significance of the building in an era-appropriate manner. Our intent is to end up with a structure that will last another 100 years or more, while maintaining or replicating as much original detail as possible,” he said.



Preliminary plans for the building call for continued commercial and retail use on the first floor with residential space on the second and third floors. Minard and team are actively exploring the viability of integrated parking solutions, as well as a potential revival of the high-end hospitality for which the Auburn Hotel was once known.
