City council balks at downtown Clover House purchase
Odessa city officials balked at buying the Clover House property at 406 N. Texas Ave as part of downtown redevelopment. The appraised value was projected at 293,491 with experts warning that fixing the building in poor condition would require hundreds of thousands more, including gutting work and asbestos removal. The finance committee indicated they would wait for a potential drop in price or private development nearby.
