The BC auditor's website shows the Journal building consisting of 3 parcels. Each is listed as sold for $1000. I don't know if this is $1000 individually or collectively. I think that Rhodes in an earlier post on this thread is likely correct.]]> Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:49:24 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5288&PID=38119&title=old-journal-building-rehab#38119 Old Journal Building Rehab : 409, Did they pay $1,000 or did... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5288&PID=38114&title=old-journal-building-rehab#38114 Author: over the hill

409, Did they pay $1,000 or did they pay $300,000 for the MJ building?

Regarding the new, upscale, loft apartments, you ask:
 
"Still--who "upscale" will want to  live "down there"?"
Perhaps you have forgotten that City Council approved monthly subsistence payments for City interns if they live downtown???  It was almost as if they knew some "friend of city hall" would be building "upscale loft apartments downtown" and would need a shot of taxpayer money to recoup their investment.

City Council voted to give each Downtown Apartment dweller $500 dollars a month to reside in this fair part of our city. Maybe that explains why Ms Judy needs more money in the Downtown Fund….oooooops!

Cincinnati Investors
From the MJ:
The property was purchased by Gary Montesi and Evan Smith, who are entering their first commercial business, said Montesi, who refused to release the purchase price. He said they will begin rehabbing the property   immediately, and probably invest between $1 million to $2 million to convert the property into loft apartments. Depending on the square footage of the apartments, Monte-si said there will be six to eight.

   He said the goal is to keep the building’s “vintage look” while upgrading some of the windows and exterior. He said the asbestos and other “environmental concerns” will be the first items removed. He said the group will “hit the ground running.”

According to the auditor, the new owners of the Middletown Journal property paid $1,000 for it.  Anyone know if the machines were left behind?]]> Sat, 01 Jun 2013 03:13:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5288&PID=38094&title=old-journal-building-rehab#38094 Old Journal Building Rehab : http://www.foodnetwork.com... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5288&PID=38090&title=old-journal-building-rehab#38090 Author: Pacman
