URA To Issue RFP For Tony’s Building

The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency Board voted to have its staff develop a request for proposals for the former Tony’s Town and Country property in downtown The Dalles.  That property became available again when Tokola Properties pulled out of a Development and Disposition agreement with the URA when the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries ruled that company’s mixed-use project would be subject to prevailing wage laws.  Board member Scott Baker explained during the meeting that going with an open RFP will hopefully give them more options to consider.  Urban Renewal Manager Steven Harris noted that staff has been contacted by various parties interested in either acquiring or leasing the property, and three people did express their interest during a public comment period.  The vote to move on an RFP was 5-1, with John Fredrick opposed.
