BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Come spring, first-floor space in a building on Bethlehem Golf Club property will be available for a long-term lease agreement.
The city owns the municipal golf course at 400 Illick’s Mill Road, where a building next to club parking will have “significant” space opening next year, according to a city request for proposals issued in October.
“The City is seeking a trusted partner that will provide synergies with the Golf Club and the existing tenants located on the Golf Club property — the Clubhouse Grille and Art of Flight Golf,” the RFP states.
A schematic from the city shows the building having:
- A 40-by-28-foot main room
- Meeting rooms of 30 by 19 feet and 22 by 19 feet
- Offices of 15 by 8 feet and 11 by 10 feet
- 20-by-10-foot women’s locker room and 11-by-9-foot bathroom
- 12-by-12-foot men’s bathroom and 14-by-12-foot locker room
- 16-by-9-foot storage room, as well as a boiler room and mechanical room
Seeking 'high-quality business'
Any lessee is requested to provide a “high-quality business” with full-time, on-site operations and maintenance of the property during the lease, and would establish working hours with the city.
