Sulphur Springs is one step closer to owning the Thermo mine property; the city receive the draft water permit, according to City Manager Marc Maxwell.
“For the city, that’s a major milestone passed in gaining ownership of the property,” said Sulphur Springs City Manager Marc Maxwell.
There are still two steps, related to the bridge and road, to be achieved before that can occur, however, the city manger said.
If those matters can be worked out with state and county officials, the city could own the property by the end of the year, which Maxwell said would be a “game changer for the city.”
