City officials in Rochelle have had a few interested people looking at the restaurant at the Fairways Golf Course over the past few weeks.
The "Beacon on the Green" closed their doors last March and terminated their lease with Gredco on April 1st. The restaurant has been closed since then.
The city is taking proposals until September 8th for the building. During yesterday's program "Let The People Know", Rochelle Mayor Chet Olson talked about the goal involving the project. They have separated the restaurant and golf course into 2 businesses
He also said that it remains an attractive facility for someone. Olson said that they had over 120 events at the restaurant last year.
The city and park district purchased the property in April of 2013. Following this golf season, there is 2 more years remaining on the golf course agreement between both governmental bodies.
"Let The People Know" is heard on Wednesday afternoon at 12:30 on Newstalk 1060 and rebroadcast Saturday morning at 6 on Newstalk 1060 and Sunday morning at 6 on "The Coyote".
