LACROSSE, Wis. — The wealthy Weber family wants to sell its world-class Charmant Hotel near the LaCrosse riverfront. The family filed a document with the city for permission to make the sale. The transaction will need city consent because of covenants involving the buiding’s historic status. In the documents the Webers chose not to disclose whether a buyer has come forward. TheWebers, whose first-generation fortune is from government insurance processing, put $30 million into converting an abandoned candy factury into the Charmand in 2017. The building’s value has been pegged at $17 million.
