They are willing to lease providing that they have a 6 -month concellation clause and that the Village provided $100 -300 thousand dollars insurance. Also, all buildings must be temporary structures and removed within 30 days after termination of the lease. They want the right to put in a pipeline and roadway rahter than a public road.
