							At 
							the moment, it is a corn field, but in the not so 
							distant future this lot will be the location of the 
							city's street department facility. The ten acre lot 
							is located off Limit Street behind the parking lot 
							at Precision Products. On Monday evening, the 
							Lincoln City Council approved the purchase of the 
							lot. The relocation of the street department is 
							being forced on the city as part of an EPA order for 
							soil remediation at the former site. In that order, 
							Common Wealth Edison and Nicor Gas are required to 
							provide the city with a like-kind facility at a new 
							location. Therefore, those two companies will 
							ultimately pay for the property purchase for the 
							city.
