DOWN TO THE WIRE
“The deadline for a deal for the coveted Old Dominion Boat Club parking lot passed Monday, but City Hall hasn’t pulled the trigger on eminent domain just yet.
After 90 days of negotiations — brought about by City Hall’s threat to use eminent domain to secure the land last fall — officials have settled on two alternatives for the boat club’s consideration. Members can opt to stay put and surrender their parking lot or move to the site of the city-owned Beachcomber property, where they could remodel and build a new parking facility.”
