Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo is the owner of the site of the former Clarion Hotel at 2340 S. Reynolds Road, parcel 07-70391. The city acquired the property in 2014 through the Lucas County Land Bank with the plan to redevelop the property in a manner that both enhances the commercial character and fosters the further development of the Hawthorne Hills area. The subject property’s most recent sale was in 2010 in the amount of $1,160,000 at a time when an operating hotel was located at the site. The 5-acre property was appraised in 2015 for $500,000. An adjacent property owner, Local 18 of the IUOE, is offering to purchase a 1.5-acre portion of the site immediately to the rear and south of their existing parcel for Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) and a commitment to maintain the grass on the remaining 3.5 acres retained by the city for a period of five years. The Buyer will utilize this property and the parcel they currently own as the site of a new, larger Local 18 IUOE office.
