URA Committee Recommends New Appraisals For Blue And Granada Buildings

The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency Advisory Committee is recommending getting fresh appraisals of the Blue Building and Granada Theatre before putting out an asking price on the properties.  City of The Dalles staff presented proposed listings for those properties and the Recreation Building at a Tuesday evening meeting, with list prices that included what the Agency paid for them along how much had been invested in them.  But some members of the advisory committee felt new appraisals would give them a better knowledge of what to put in a listing price.  There was consensus to not appraise the Recreation Building, noting that building would likely be torn down by a developer.  The vote to make the recommendation was 5-1, with City Councilor and Urban Renewal board member Linda Miller voting no, saying the appraisal would not make a difference in the sale process and was an unnecessary expense.  The recommendation goes to the City Council acting in its capacity as the URA board at their meeting this coming Monday evening.
