Wednesday is the deadline for Rapoza Development to meet a number of different conditions set by the Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency to move forward with the Granada Block Project to build a 147-room hotel in downtown The Dalles, including demolition of the Recreation Building and the closing of purchase of the properties involved.  Tuesday night, the Urban Renewal Advisory Committee deadlocked on a request from Michael Leash of Rapoza to extend the agreement to May 2016.  Leash said the extension would allow time for Oregon State Representative John Huffman to seek a million dollars in financing through an anticipated state bond package to be developed in the February legislative session to provide the money to close the sale, and to work through a complex process to apply to be a Hilton Garden Inn.  Huffman said he made the suggestion in the expectation that there will be a small bonding package put together in February, believing he can gain support because of what the project would represent for economic development in The Dalles.  The Dalles Mayor Steve Lawrence says his understanding is the City Council, acting in its capacity of the Urban Renewal Agency Board, would not have to take any formal action for the agreement to expire after the deadline if the conditions are not met.  Lawrence says the Urban Renewal Agency Board will probably go into an executive session after the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on October 12 to receive information, and then come out in open session and if a member wants to make a motion to be voted on they can, and if nothing happens the panel would move forward with discussing putting out a new Request For Proposal.  Leash said he still believed his project is the best and highest use of the land to deliver jobs, traffic in downtown, and tax revenues, adding Rapoza would probably submit another RFP if the Agency Board will not grant an extension.
