Relocation of Marian University’s School of Nursing to downtown Fond du lac is a step closer to reality. The Fond du lac city council Tuesday night approved a resolution to declare the downtown A.C. Nielson building a blighted property and $4.2 million in redevelopment revenue bonds to purchase and rehabilitate the property. Community Development director Dyann Benson says the property qualifies as blighted because the building has been unused or under utilized for years resulting in the need for additional rehabilitation and improvements. The city has already approved spending $255,000 in taxpayer money to cover a potential funding gap for the project. Benson says the scope of the project makes it one of the most significant downtown redevelopment projects in recent years. The Redevelopment Authority has approved an initial resolution and will consider the matter again December 4th before it returns to the council for final action.
