Rumors have been swirling around for awhile. When will the Oaks be torn down?
It’s now been more than two months since city leaders celebrated the developer’s plans for the site. Those plans have yet to be put into action.
It is no longer a celebration for city leaders. In fact, their patience is starting to run thin as they wait for progress with the old Oaks Hotel. But one way or another, the building will likely see work and soon.
Oh but it gets better;
“We really do need to see some work out there very soon,” Smith said.
If that doesn’t happen, the city could step in, have the work done and then charge Graham for the work. Smith says that could soon be an option for the city,
A really stupid decision by the city, because not only would we be stuck with the bill for demolition, there would be tons of legal expenses for the city trying to get Graham to pay. Leave the Oaks alone. He will tear it down when he is damn good and ready. And if there is people in Sioux Falls that don’t like it, I suggest you cut a check to Mr. Graham to help him with the cost.
