Kathy Reed reports:

Freeland Concerned Citizens LLC has ended its legal challenge over the purchase of Harbor Inn in order to provide transitional and supportive housing.

They Said It

The motel was sold to the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) in July, and the Freeland group had sought an injunction to stop the sale and the transfer of $1.5 million from Island County to aid in LIHI’s purchase…. Island County Superior Court Judge Carolynn [sic] Cliff denied the request for a preliminary injunction in August, but said she would be willing to listen to arguments concerning zoning at a hearing in September.
