3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 Hotelier ups ante against Port in court fi ght over Riverwalk Inn Company says lost profi ts top $4 million By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Astoria Maker Industries has acquired the Van Dusen Building at 10th and Duane streets from The Harbor. Param Hotel Corp., the Portland-area company suing the Port of Astoria over the Astoria Riverwalk Inn, has more than doubled its demand in damages from the agency as the two parties head to trial next month. Param had been courting heavily indebted former Riv- erwalk Inn operator Brad Smi- thart since 2014. The company fi led suit against the Port in 2015 after the agency canceled Smithart’s lease and trans- ferred operation of the hotel to Astoria Hospitality Ventures, whose owner is the brother-in- law of former Port Commis- sioner Stephen Fulton. A weeklong trial is sched- uled for early next month. Param claims the Port breached a prior contract and favored a locally connected company. The hotelier has sought to take over the lease of the Riverwalk Inn or dam- ages equivalent to the value of what the company could have made with Smithart’s remain- ing lease. In an amended complaint fi led last week, attorney Colin Hunter increased the esti- mated value of Param’s lost profi ts from $1.5 million to $4 million, in addition to the $500,000 he estimates in dam- ages to Param’s reputation. Clatsop County Circuit Court Judge Dawn McIn- tosh has denied attempts by the Port and Param to win judg- ment before trial. A separate lawsuit by the Port against Smi- thart is on hold until the legal battle with Param is resolved. Makerspace acquires Van Dusen Building The Daily Astorian Astoria Maker Industries has acquired the Van Dusen Building at the corner of Duane and 10th streets. The Harbor, a regional advocate for victims of domestic and sexual vio- lence, had put the building up for sale last year after trying to develop it into the group’s new headquarters. Pig ’N Pancake founders Marianne and Robert Poole donated the building to The Harbor, which used to be located there but moved to the Nor- blad Building. Astoria Makers was started last year inside a warehouse in Miles Cross- ing, where the group has been sharing space with Steel & Timber Construction/ Fabrication. “We’re excited to incorpo- rate many of our own designs into the new space, including furniture, shelving, signage and creative space design,” Glen Herman, owner and founder of Astoria Makers, said in a release. “The main level and basement will fea- ture a full-scale workshop with tools and classes in trades such as woodworking, welding, silversmithing, jew- elry-making, screen printing, sewing, ceramics and digi- tal design. A retail gallery for members will also be on the main level.” The upstairs will be developed into rentable art- ist studios with access to the workshop, along with a com- munity kitchen and meeting area. Astoria Makers hopes to open the building to the public later this year or early 2018. “Once open to the public, we’ll be accessible to every- one and can really live out the vision of the whole busi- ness,” Lucy Barna, a local artist and member of the group’s startup team, said in the release. “I’m excited to show people of all ages and backgrounds how many ways there are to create and how much better it is to do it with others. We hope to become a true creative hub in Astoria.” Astoria Makers has been waiting to grow its member- ship and education offerings until the move. The busi- ness has focused on design and fabrication, creating new platform beds for the Can- nery Pier Hotel & Spa, local signage, laser engraving for Fort George Brewery and tea box displays for Astoria Cof- fee Co. & Corner Deli.
