							On Monday, June 16, 
							2025 the Lincoln city council, by unanimous vote, 
							agreed to purchase the property formerly known as 
							the State Bank of Lincoln aka Heartland Bank & Trust 
							on Broadway Street. 
							 
							The discussion about the purchase was held in an 
							executive session at the Committee of the Whole 
							meeting on Tuesday, June 10th. On Monday night there 
							was no further discussion prior to the vote. 
							 
							However, later in the evening, Mayor Tracy Welch 
							while talking about funding for the Logan County 
							Tourism Bureau said that the city has its own 
							projects in the works that includes the purchase of 
							the bank building.
