On Monday, council received an offer from Westhills to sell the building and 186 spaces in a parking lot across the street. Now it’s asking residents to weigh in
Agreed it could save a ton of money. However, Westhills Development still owns the land, so the city could purchase the building, and when the contract is up for renewal in 25 years, Westhills Development could theoretically bulldoze the building and redevelop.
Sounds like some shitty backdoor deal made under previous mayor’s administration and his cronies. Pretty typical in Langford.
