Goodlander: Deed Stops NIC Relocation
There is a deed restriction that states the the Winton Lumber Company donated the land where the primary building at NIC and located. The restriction states that the land was donated to the county to be used for a hospital or education. If it is not used for that purpose, the land goes back to Winton heirs. The buildings on that ground along with some ground purchased later are worth around 60 million dollars. This makes it a very bad decision to relocate NIC..The proximity value of the location of the Mill site to the college's students is extremely efficient. The value to the citizens of Coeur d'Alene in terms of jobs,payroll, effective use of taxpayer dollars and long term economic health is enormous/CdA Councilwoman Deanna Goodlander.
