Parts Valmont property, and IMO, the owners made a killing...but must have had a smart lawyer. They could use their previous offers in negotiations with the City....or else the city would have had to have condemned the property, and that usually costs them more. The land was zoned industrial---use as a junk yard for auto parts. Sounds to me like they got a "big box" price. The owners get a nice chunk of change---and the auto parts business was declining anyway---the city gets more green space, and keeps the big box guys out.

Hard to say if Michael Helgoth was upset about this----his sister also had cancer, and died after he did. I don't believe Access Graphic had anything to do with this transaction.
