(KLZA)--Funds have been approved for the rehabilition of a downtown Falls City building damaged during a fire in January.
The City Council Monday evening approved a grant agreement between the Community Redevelopment Authority of Falls City and Paulo Bruxellas, Vanji Bruxellas and Travis Herrick.
The owners of the building at 1522 Stone Street, which formerly housed the Chaney Furniture Annex, are in the process of rehabilitating the building. The south wall of the building must be rebuilt and reinforced.
The funds come from money being put into a tax increment financing account allowed to be used for rehabilitation purposes in the downtown business district as well as some other objectives in the redevelopment plan.
The City Redevelopment Plan approved in 2010 authorizes the CRA to utilize TIF funds to provide grants and loans for rehabilitation purposes throughout the redevelopment area.
The grant application indicates the owners plan to utilize the building as a space to host events such as receptions and possibly use it for a tasting room for a winery being developed at Miles Ranch which the Brexellas' family owns.
