The city is pressing on with a controversial plan to lease the former Boys and Girls Club on 21st Street near Grove to The Lord’s Diner for a satellite location.
Wichita City Council members will vote next Tuesday whether to have a public hearing on the idea Nov. 3. The plan calls for The Lord’s Diner to pay the city $15,000 a year for the 18,414 square foot building. The Diner would have an option to buy it at anytime.
The place was recently appraised at $150,000, and it is in fairly rough shape. The Diner would pay for repairs.

Good show! I hope the city will take into consideration the good this program does for the overall needy community and deduct any costs for repairs–to a city owned building the city would benefit from having repaired–from the first year rental fee. Seems fair and equitable to me.
