Gitchell Building Future Discussed Again

The Dalles City Council held another chapter in the long-running discussion on the future of the Gitchell-Waldron Building, the oldest existing commercial building in the city.  Mayor Rich Mays had asked for it to be placed on the agenda, noting the subject has been on-going for years.  Eric Gleason, representing the group that has been advocating for its preservation, once again said there is a path forward to reuse the building and make it a vibrant part of the community.  The Council reached consensus to give interim City Manager Daniel Hunter the authority to get an evaluation done, probably involving KPFF, the firm that did a similar study in 2015.
