Jefferson City to discuss development agreement for Capitol Avenue properties
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Jefferson City Council will discuss an agreement for the possible sale and redevelopment of some properties in the Capitol Avenue neighborhood at its Monday night meeting.
The council agenda states that the council will discuss authorizing an agreement with PG and Co. about city-owned property at 405 and 407 East Capitol Ave. and 109 and 111 Adams Street.
Council documents state that the total purchase price for all four properties will be $42,000.
“The properties made available in the RFP were initially acquired by the City after a condemnation process that was initiated due to the deteriorating condition of the properties and a long history of nuisance violations,” city documents say.
The area has become a hot-button issue for the city and residents over the past few years, with a number of properties requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix. A number of properties were deemed dangerous.
Two properties on Capitol Avenue were available to be viewed in May. One home viewed by ABC 17 News had noticeable water damage, a hole in the roof, holes in the flooring, animal waste, piles of garbage and areas where it was apparent animals and humans had been living in the dangerous structure.
