石泉市议会一致通过5.5万美元付款 结清第一安全银行大楼最后一笔义务

怀俄明州石泉市(RockSprings)市议会20日(周二)晚间一致通过一项决议,批准向戈登·克罗夫茨(GordonCrofts)支付5.5万美元,以结清涉及第一安全银行大楼(First Security BankBuilding)的一项遗留问题。根据市议会文件,这处物业最初捐赠给市政府时,协议要求:若银行大楼的资金未能落实,与大楼相邻、位于南主街504号的物业应予返还;但实际到位的资金只够拆除南主街504号的建筑、并把第一安全银行大楼扩建到该地块上,工程既已完成,504号物业便无法再捐还给克罗夫茨。
克罗夫茨据此提出,从市政府以7.5万美元把大楼出售给开发商科迪·瓦茨(KodyWatts)的款项中支付他5.5万美元,议会一致批准,这笔付款将清偿市政府对第一安全银行大楼的最后一笔义务。市政府最初曾打算动用怀俄明州商业委员会等渠道的补助资金翻修这栋大楼,但项目一再停滞、成本最终高到市政府无力完成;今年8月,市政府在向多位有意向的买家展示后把大楼售予瓦茨,按约定瓦茨须在出售后一年内启动修复工程,并在四年内实现实质完工,这栋市中心老建筑的后续改造进度值得当地居民继续关注。
Rock Springs Council Votes Unanimously to Pay $55,000, Closing Out First Security Bank Building Obligation
The Rock Springs City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to pay Gordon Crofts $55,000, settling the last obligation tied to the First Security Bank building at 504 S. Main Street, SweetwaterNOW reported.
Crofts had donated the building with a return condition, but the 504 parcel was demolished and folded into an expansion, making return impossible. The city sold the property to developer Kody Watts for $75,000, and Crofts claimed $55,000 from the proceeds.
Under the deal, Watts must begin renovations within a year and substantially complete them within four years. The payment closes out the long-running question of the donated building's conditions.
