Puhlishci s Editorial Hotel renovation will boost Heppner two ways W ith the proposed hotel renovation project Heppner has the chance to (using the old cliche) kill two birds with one stone. Number one. the hotel is in bad shape Anyone who has been through the building can tell you that it is literally tall mg apart. The next time you are downtown take a look at this building and you can see that it is last becoming an eyesore in Heppner. And it is not going to get an> heltei Considering the amount of money needed to tix the building up. don’t expect a private owner to come in later and put money into the structure, because it |ust isn't feasible Along with its deteriorating condition, consider the |x»ssibility of lire in the old hotel l ire is a real danger there, and once started it would be very difficult to put out Wc could very easily have a repeat of what happened across the street in l ‘)HT. a devastating bla/e that will take out a good |*>rtion of the block The second ginnl reason for moving ahead with the renova tion project, is the economic boost it could give to our town The benefits for retired people living in Heppner are mans. and our town is a dcsireablc place for older people to live Stores are easily accessible, the nursing home and hospital are nearby, recreation is available, and our town is sale W ith the continued bad news we keep hearing about the economy ol our county, it is good to hear some positive news lor a change I here is some risk involved with the project, but as with any forward movement, and with any progress there is bound to be risk. Much of the hard work on the project has already been done, and major hurdles crossed Money is available and there has been financial backing by local groups An oppor (unity such as this for the betterment ol Heppner does not come along often, and we should take advantage ol it I )a\ id N\ k es 4 f WOOD COMECTIOHfo All parties booked before January 31 for January and February receive 20% in hostess freebies or Valentine decoration Parties over $200 earn both VALENTINE GOODIES IN STOCK IK t iiu Reid — 676-9973 PETTYJOHN’S Glidden h \ \ REG. *9.99 SAVE *4 m J & f \ 1 FAM OUS SPRED QUALITY QUALITY.
