Going, Going, Gone.

July 27, 2015 by Dave Ruller

The former grocery store and dentist office that became the location of Kent City Hall for a couple of decades is no more — and the site is being cleared to make way for a new apartment housing project.

When a developer offers about $1 million over the appraised value it’s a deal that’s hard to refuse, and although we had become comfortable in our make-shift City Hall complex, it came up short in areas of efficient use of space — and came up too long in areas like costs to maintain and repair.

A deal was struck in May and we moved out by June 1.

A little over a month later it’s hard to see any evidence that we were there but it’s exciting to see what’s coming next — “345 Flats” Apartments.
