Junction City Commissioners will consider a request to solicit bids for demolition of the former Knights Inn, 1024 South Washington, when they meet Tuesday evening. The meeting is scheduled at 7 p.m. at 701 North Jefferson.
According to an agenda memorandum City staff believe the building is a dangerous and unsafe structure.
If the process continues it may cost up to $250,000 to demolish and clean up the site. The project would be funded through demolition removal in the general fund. $100,000 was budgeted for 2022. Costs will be billed to the property owner of record and will reimburse any charges to this account.
While the building could come down this year it may be a few years before the site is freed for other uses.
