Glen Catt of Catt Development Company came to Tuesday's Boyne City Commission meeting and announced that he has purchased the Sportsman and the adjacent former Little Lena's restaurant. Catt told the commission that he expects to do some building clean-up and planning this year, but major changes and occupancy probably won't take place until 2018. City Manager Michael Cain introduced Catt, saying: "Downtown Boyne City took another big step forward when Catt Development purchased the buildings at 116 and 118 South Lake Street.... The two-story building was built in the early 1900's and one of its early occupants was the Princess Theater. Although I've heard many stories about the thriving businesses that were there not that long ago, they have struggled in recent years, and the buildings show it. We have seen time and again what Glen Catt and Catt Development, working with the Boyne community, have been able to do for our community. The results have been amazing - Café Santé, My Community Dental Centers, Alpine Chocolate Haus, Kidd & Leavy Real Estate, seven waterfront cottages, 7 Monks Taproom, Northern Michigan Sports Medicine and Bliss Salon, which is scheduled to open on Front Street this spring. And apparently he's not done yet. Their continued investment in and working with Boyne City is a major part of our ongoing resurgence." News-Review story.
