From today's RGJ:
----------
"KINGS INN: The Reno City Council agreed to send a letter to Washoe County, officially notifying the county that the city is interested in paying owed property taxes to obtain the property at West and Third streets.
County Treasurer Bill Berrum took over as trustee for the property in June after a three-year tax bill was not paid. The property owes $181,710 in delinquent taxes and $54,620 in current taxes.
North River Development LLC, of Alameda, Ca., the owner listed on county property tax records, has until March 8 to pay the back taxes and avoid an auction sale in late April. After that date, the owner would have to get a court order to stop the sale.
Berrum said state law allows government entities to obtain properties after paying all the taxes owed rather than auctioning them. In doing so, the city would have to use the property for some public purpose, he said.
Reno Mayor Bob Cashell said he's anxious to see the old building brought down. That would cost an estimated $1 million.
"I could raise the money," he said, to get the job done.

Ooops....my mistake. Topic should read: "King's Inn letter sent...." |

Wow...so not only is it an eyesore, it costs money for it to sit there and be an eyesore!
Although it's one of those fascinating eyesores, the kind you can't stop staring it, like a traffic accident....in a bizarre way, I'll be kind of sorry when it's finally torn down. |

twould be mighty fine to eliminate this eyesore. Even if more can't be done along the trench re new construction, etc., twould be nice to remove more ayesores.
Also like to see something done to resurrect Reno's oldest bldg and the Fitz property next door. |
