NEW BUSINESS
a. Former Speedway Discussion
Economic Development Coordinator, Van Oss, provided an updated on the the former Speedway
that went into bankruptcy in 2021 and vacant for less than 3 years. The property reverted back to
the lender and was placed in receivership with Lighthouse Management. Their role is to find care
for the liability, assets and property etc.
Staff met with Lighthouse Management on September 15th to determine what this means for
future review and timelines. Based on this discussion, several steps remain prior to any sale of
the property. Lighthouse Management is working to collect new samples for testing in order to
comply with the state requirements. The result of this testing will determine whether the state
will require additional remediation or issue a closure status. The lender needs to get to the site
closure status prior to being able to legally list the site for sale.
Staff will continue to explore the next steps as the project is getting closer to the redevelopment
stage. Staff will provide an update once the required testing is completed to comply with state
requirements.
