Blight: City hopes

Continued from Page 1
out,” City Manager Linda
Engbretson said. “The goal is
to clean it up and remove the
blight and turn the property
around.”
“The neighbors have been
complaining about it,” Balen-
sifer said.
Were it owned by a private
individual, the city would de-
mand they clean it up.
“This is blight No. 1 in the
city, right next to the blue
house that went down on
Harbor,” Balensifer said.
“The Warrenton Urban Re-
newal Agency is actively re-
vitalizing the downtown cor-
ridor and this property falls
within the URA boundary,”
the written offer letter states.
“The property is seriously
blighted, is an active nuisance
case, and is a highly visible
property.”
Once Duoos has received
the city’s written request, the
property sale would go before
the Clatsop County Board of
Commissioners for consider-
ation.
