Some properties seized through tax enforcement measures by the city are being sold and could see development happening in the near future.
At a May 27 meeting council accepted offers for sale on the following lots:
The land and building located at 792 - 107th St. is being acquired by John Millard of J & J Air Conditioning for $80,000. Millard plans to relocate and expand his business from its current location along 100th Street.
The vacant properties at 831 - 104th St. and 861 - 104th St. are being acquired by Ryan Shepherd, who offered $20,500.00 for each lot ($41,000 total).
This acquisition includes the land where the old “Jesus is Alive” building stood. That building was destroyed by fire three years ago.
Shepherd plans to expand parking, grade the lots, landscape the area and add new gravel immediately, while for the remainder of the lots Mr. Shepherd plans to build a strip mall and a freestanding restaurant. Construction will commence in approximately two years, or sooner if demand dictates.
Finally, the property located at 901 - 104th St. is being acquired by Larry Stockman for $1,000. He plans to turn the location into a chiropractic and physical rehab clinic, with the possibility of leasing out part of the building.
