Commission approves sale of 6208 Kennedy Ave to Kenwood Tap and short-term license to access property
Summary
The commission approved sale of 6208 Kennedy Avenue and adjacent parcels to Flo Decker (doing business as Kenwood Tap) for $120,000 and a license allowing Decker to enter the property to clean it prior to closing.
The Hammond Redevelopment Commission approved a purchase agreement and a temporary license enabling Flo Decker, doing business as Kenwood Tap, to enter and clean the parcels at 6208, 6206 and 6204 Kennedy Avenue before the scheduled closing.
Taylor, redevelopment staff, presented a signed purchase agreement showing a purchase price of $120,000 for the building at 6208 Kennedy Avenue and the two adjacent vacant parcels. Flo Decker, who the transcript identifies as the buyer, addressed the commission and said, "I've owned my bar for 47 years, and I don't have problems... I'd appreciate your vote," arguing she wanted to continue operating the business in Hammond.
Commissioners approved both the purchase agreement and the license to allow Decker to perform cleanup activities prior to closing. Staff said the license would allow Decker to enter 6208 and go onto 6206 and 6204 for cleanup before the property ownership transfers. The motion was approved on roll call (5 yes).
