| Would like to thank Randy and Ms. Pacman for taking the time to post pic. This is a 5.8 acre track donated to the city. Our hope is to leave it alone and let mother nature do her thing. We would like to build a play area on the south side which would be more natural with logs to climb on and piles of dirt to play in. May sound cheap but the young ones love a pile of dirt. Low maint. is our goal. Oct 22nd 10-2 is the grand opening but this parcel is open now. Some really great older trees and a stand of paw-paw are there to help support a wide range of bird species. Must have missed Ms. Pacman last night. Had a good crew up there today got alot done. Thanks again! |

Nope. You are wrong. I studied both deals very carefully. The money
for the Duncan deal came from Downtown Improvement Fund. I had
previously posted this:
The legislation that was presented and passed indicated that the sum to acquire property as part of this deal was not to exceed $550,000 and would come from the Downtown Improvement Fund (I have no idea how much money is in this fund). The city is only acquiring the property and then land-swapping with Duncan. Duncan paid $275,000 for the property that includes the old Office Outfitters store in 2002. They paid $100,000 in 2002 for the property that borders it that had previously been owned by the Finkleman family. The purchased the station property in 1997 for $39,000. So in all, the investment for the property Duncan is swapping with the city is around $414,000. Vivian is correct in that there has not been a final dollar figure attached to the city’s purchase of the land that borders First/Grimes/Central/University for the new gas station/convenience store. Just that the sum is not to exceed $550,000 from the city’s standpoint for this project. From what I can tell, there are three different property owners: 1.) The owners of the strip shopping center 2.) Revelos family 3.) Finkleman family. According to the agreement, Duncan is responsible for demolishing all buildings on all property included in this agreement—even the property that is been transferred to the city. The one exception is the Revelos building, which the city has agreed to share the expense of removing asbestos—estimated to be around $60,000. You are also way off with your estimate of $500,000 in NSP funds for the Barb's Pub purchase and demo. The city of Middletown acquired the building that housed Barb's Pub from the State of Ohio. Online property records do not list a sales price, so let's assume it was minimal. http://www.dressale.com/bridesmaid-dresses-classic-bridesmaid-dresses-c-2_4_40.html - Classic Bridesmaid Dresses / http://www.dressale.com/junior-bridesmaid-dresses-black-junior-bridesmaid-dresses-c-2_9_44.html - Black Junior Bridesmaid Dresses / http://www.dressale.com/wedding-dresses-sheathcolumn-wedding-dresses-c-2_3_23.html - Sheath Wedding Dresses / http://www.dressale.com/wedding-dresses-maternity-wedding-dresses-c-2_3_30.html - Maternity Wedding Dresses ------------- Tracy |
