THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The City is holding a July 22, 2026 public hearing on condemnation of the tornado‑damaged Knights Inn at 1641 S. Main, with a resolution to order repair or demolition. The owner Maa Parvati LLC has stated an intent to demolish, but no repair or demo work or permits have started. This opens a near‑term need for demolition, site cleanup, possible redevelopment planning, and related engineering and construction services.
Structure was severely damaged by the April 13, 2026 tornado and remains an attractive nuisance and public hazard.
