Tuscan and Horizon Updates
Checked with the city's Tom Grant regarding the status of these two buildings and the demolishing orders for both apparently are on hold. The Horizon was tested for mold last week and the owners of the Tuscan Lodge had obtains the services of an architect to evaluate the building (yet again).
Not sure about the Horizon Inn but I recall the Tuscan Lodge building was evaluated back in the 1990's and the estimate was in excess of six figures, close to seven, to make the building habitable. I remember hearing some talk of a company's plans to purchase the Tuscan building, gut it but maintain the facade, and convert it to offices. Doesn't look as if anything has come of that, though.
