The Columbia Gateway Urban Renewal Agency met last night at city hall. Following a lengthy executive session, the board returned to open session and voted to explore a project for the vacant lot that held Tony’s Town & Country Clothing. City Councilor Dan Richardson made the motion:
“I move to direct staff to enter into exclusive negotiations with the developers of the proposed Fermentation Hub project at the former Tony’s building site, for a period of six months to August 15.”
No further information was released on the subject, and the board closed its session after that.
