Town officials have set their sights on repurposing an iconic remnant of local agrarian history to expand recreational opportunities for Mead residents. On January 11, the Town Board voted unanimously to purchase the 16,000 square-foot pinto bean processing plant at 401 3rd Street, in the heart of Old Town Mead. The plan is to transform the long vacant, deteriorating buildings and the spartan one-acre site into a vibrant recreation facility, community hub and gleaming centerpiece for the downtown area. The Town of Mead is utilizing the Recreation Center Facilities Fund from impact fees to acquire the old bean plant. This restricted fund has been accumulating for years and can only be used towards a recreation facility. The Recreation Impact Fees were collected from new development for the sole purpose of building a recreation facility in Mead. Over the next several months staff will conduct community outreach to establish a priority list of features.
