The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Advisory Committee has decided to recommend the rejection of all three proposals received for the Granada Block in downtown The Dalles, and put all three properties up for sale with conditions for redevelopment. That decision came after a review panel which had initially recommended entering negotiations with Charles Gomez and Debra Liddell of Wateska, Illinois decided to now recommend selling the properties. The couple had proposed rehabilitating the Granada Theater, turning the Recreation Building into four small store fronts along with a commercial kitchen and diners club, and use the Blue Building for three more store fronts, but advisory committee members one month ago questioned whether the pair realized the condition of the Granada and have them submit a new proposal. Then the review committee received advice from City Attorney Gene Parker that the approach would violate the law unless a new request for proposal open to all was issued, leading to the new recommendation to sell. That now goes to the Urban Renewal Agency board, made up of The Dalles City Council and Mayor Steve Lawrence.
