Muskegon Community College issued the following announcement on August 14.
Muskegon Community College is seeking proposals for the purchase of its Lakeshore Fitness Center. The College desires to sell the property to a party who will operate it as a fitness center but will consider all proposals that relieve the College of the financial burden of maintaining the facility.
MCC purchased the Lakeshore Fitness Center in August 2015 from the Muskegon YMCA. MCC contracted with a third-party firm, Power Wellness, to operate the Center. MCC closed the facility in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MCC, which had lost $ 2.5 million in operating the Center, decided in May to permanently cease operations.
In July, MCC sought proposals for a six-month lease to operate the fitness facility from September 2020 through February 2021, but the college did not receive any offers.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the purchase of the Lakeshore Fitness Center was issued on Aug. 13. Proposals are due by Sept. 14 and the award notification will be made following the MCC Board of Trustees meeting on Oct. 21, but no later than Nov. 1, 2020.
