Not only does the city own the American Tap property, we also own the now razed Peerless Linens and Southern Illinois Recycling properties on S. Washington. Asked what the plans were for them and mentioned a park, since nothing else seems happening and was told, "No park" , since the city wouldn't be able to generate any revenue off a park.
Update: The city does not own the Peerless Linens site. That is privately owned but the city may have contributed some money to the razing.
Tearing down stuff is fun and all, but what's the plan for the empty space? Doesn't it get expensive to clear and hold onto all this useless property? Does anyone really want it?
ReplyDeleteCity's trying to sell its properties, but no takers so far. A nice "For Sale" sign would certainly help
