LEWISTON – Councilors will get the latest news Tuesday on efforts to unload the Bates Mill Enterprise Complex.
City Administrator Jim Bennett is scheduled to discuss the negotiation progress and to review existing Bates Mill contracts at a City Council workshop. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in Lewiston City Council chambers.
Negotiations began last fall, with Bennett telling councilors the city needs to focus on developing Mill No. 5 and get out of the rest. The city took over ownership of the property in 1992 and has been renovating mill buildings and selling them to Platz Associates since then.
The mill complex continues to cost the city between $425,000 and $1 million each year in redevelopment costs.
