## Resource

The city is finally demolishing the rubble-strewn site of the old Sutherland Hotel after a year-and-a-half delay, opting for a wet demolition to minimize dust — a $300K cleanup the city will recoup via the property owner’s tax bill. The land’s new owner, Anhart Community Housing Society, had hoped to build affordable housing but says they’re still negotiating — though they’re now seeing the city’s action as a step forward, even if legal action may be needed. The property owner blames slow city permitting for delays, while council members credit neighborhood pressure — especially from areas outside downtown — for finally pushing the city to act.
