Committee hears owner plans to restore Boss Building; sewage and insurance issues noted
Summary
Members reported the owner of the downtown Boss Building intends to restore the property, but prior sewage damage and an insurance coverage lapse mean the owner likely faces new expenses to start repairs.
Committee members reported positive signs for the downtown Boss Building after hearing that the owner intends to restore and secure the property, including interior work.
Members said the building owner also owns a nearby Thai restaurant and that the owner now faces a newly reopened sewage issue that likely will require the owner to start repairs from scratch because prior insurance coverage window had lapsed. Committee members said the Downtown Development Authority's small grants had not directly driven the owner’s current plans and that the owner reported handling a prior backup on their own.
No formal action or city-funded assistance was offered at the meeting; committee members said they would continue to monitor the property and report updates to the Downtown Development Authority and city staff when appropriate.
