A7 THE ASTORIAN • SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 2019 Holiday Inn: Hotel property is surrounded by active or proposed lodging Continued from Page A1 been a part of the Holiday Inn since its construction in the early 2000s . He credited Paul Benoit, the former city manager, with enticing him to the property. Chuck Everett, vice pres- ident of Braintree Hospital- ity, said the hotel ownership company was approached, saw an opportunity to get into a strong market and plans no changes to the staffi ng or operations of the hotel. “We’re in growth mode, and this was a terrifi c opportunity for us,” he said. The sale includes the hotel and the former Union- town Cafe, once proposed for an Irish pub but pur- chased by the Webers and turned into storage. Braintree’s online port- folio of hotels includes properties in Redmond, Bend, Boise, Coeur d’Alene, Las Vegas and Dallas, Texas. The com- pany recently bought fi ve properties, including the purchase in Astoria, Ever- ett said. The Holiday Inn in Uniontown was built at the site of the former Tuala- tin Valley Builders Sup- ply. The property sits just west of Astoria Warehous- ing, a former canning and labeling operation up for sale since its seafood-pro- cessing parent companies moved operations to the Seattle metro area. The hotel property is surrounded by active or proposed lodging . To the north is the Cannery Pier Hotel developed by the late Robert “Jake” Jacob. Far- ther east, developer Mark Hollander is trying to build a Fairfi eld Inn & Suites, a Marriott brand, at the for- mer Ship Inn restaurant. To the west is a vacant strip of land Hollander leases from the Port of Astoria and has proposed another Marri- ott-branded hotel. Edward Stratton/The Astorian Blue Heron Hotel Properties has sold the Holiday Inn Express & Suites under the Astoria Bridge to Idaho-based Braintree Hospitality. Pacifi c Power: Serves 587,365 customers around Oregon Continued from Page A1 infrastructure. Former residents of Par- adise, California, sued their utility, Pacifi c Gas and Elec- tric , for negligence following the Camp Fire, which burned the mountain community to the ground in the fall of 2018. At the time, the utility com- pany reported malfunctioning stations and downed lines. Previous California wild- fi res were also linked to PG&E, including the Wine Country fi res of 2017. Cal- Fire found the utility com- pany had failed to main- tain power lines or properly remove potentially fl amma- ble brush from the nearby area, which is required by California law. There is no such law in Oregon. Following the lawsuits, PG&E recently started ‘WE NEED TO TAKE ACTIVE MEASURES TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES AND OREGONIANS WHO COULD BE IN HARM’S WAY.’ Scott Bolton | senior vice president of external affairs and customer solutions at Pacifi c Power implementing power shut-off during high-wind, high-heat periods. Earlier this month , they proactively cut power to over 20,000 residents in California’s Butte and Yuba counties. PG&E announced Tues- day it would pay $1 billion to 14 local governments to cover damages from a series of deadly wildfi res caused by its downed power lines, the Associated Press reported. Bolton said that Pacifi c Power’s new policy is not directly in response to the lawsuits against PG&E or the actions they’ve taken, but are instead in keeping with best practices that the indus- try has been discussing for a while. But the recent increase in fi res prompted them to act now. “Some of the tragedies we’ve experienced, like the loss of the city of Paradise and other fi res we’ve seen down in California, demon- strate that we need to take active measures to protect communities and Oregonians who could be in harm’s way,” Bolton said. Pacifi c Power serves 587,365 Oregon customers in pockets across the state, including part of Portland, the Willamette Valley, the coast, and parts of c entral, s outhern and Eastern Oregon. It also serves a portion of Northern California, c entral Washing- ton, and parts of Idaho, Wyo- ming and Utah. Bolton said it’s unlikely Pacifi c Power will ever need to de-electrify their power lines, and if it does, it would likely only be in high-risk areas like Josephine, Doug- las and Hood River counties. The company is working with local emergency manage- ment groups to do outreach on the subject, and to fi gure out how to warn residents if a shutoff seems likely.
