Gage stated that they will need to seek bids from architects to do a formal space
needs analysis to see if they can expand or need to find a new location.

hold off demolition for up to 1 year. City Gate can give Linn County (at any time
within that year) a 30 day written notice to demolish. If there is not request within
that year, then Linn County’s obligation to demolish goes away. The estimated cost
for the demolition is between $50,000 and $60,000.
