The City Of Sandpoint has set Saturday, December 13, for a community workshop to envision potential alternative uses of the city-owned RV park property at City Beach. The workshop follows a November 7 hearing by the City Council on a proposal from Averill Hospitality to purchase or lease the property, at which the council rejected any lease or sale following hours of near unanimous testimony in opposition. The workshop to collect public ideas and input for the property will be held in the James E. Russell Sport Center community room from 9 a.m. - noon.
Also this morning on the 88.5 KRFY Morning Show, host Chris Bessler interviewed Brian Averill about the company and its plans to rebuild the Best Western Edgewater hotel at Sandpoint City Beach. The discussion covered some history of the hotel site, parking issues, Windbag marina use, impact fees and the company's current posture on the RV park adjacent to the hotel.
