City may condemn property for Gateway Center January 20th, 2004 - 5:40am (Port Angeles) – The city of Port Angeles and Clallam Transit may
condemn downtown property owned by a local business. The city council
holds a hearing tonight on proceeding with condemning the property
owned by Budget Rent-A-Car. City officials say negotiations are at
an impasse with the property owner and the city and transit system
need the property to begin constructing the downtown Gateway Transportation
Center. If the city council approves tonight’s measure, it would give
authority to attorneys to take the next step in forcing the property
owners to sell what is now a parking lot along Front Street between
Lincoln and Laurel.
