An opportunity to demolish the Polaris Building â called by many âthe eyesore of the cityâ â might open for private companies in return for the ownership rights of the property.
While the city awaits the decision on federal grants for the Polaris Building Demolition Project, the City Council Finance Committee discussed Tuesday an idea to put the project up for private bids.
Councilman Jim Clark said that while âthere is always money hanging out there from grants,â the city needs to move faster in getting rid of the vacant building and redeveloping the space.
âNobody has looked at the building besides the city,â Clark said. âThere are companies out there who are wanting to get involved.â
