Community Development
SUBJECT: Conversation with Jim Freeman of Seafirst Bank
I talked today with Jim Freeman of Seafirst's Real Estate Division concerning
their property on Main Street. Jim noted that he was pleased to receive my
letter committing the City to work with Seafirst to make the best possible use
of the land. He noted that Seafirst is actively seeking a developer• for the
site, as a national banking company cannot be a developer. Presently,
Seafirst is discussing the property with two developers in our area.
He intends to meet with our Economic Development Committee some time during
the next few months.
Efforts will also be made to remove the vacant buildings on the site to the
Aw rear of Discount Plants . Jim has committed to razing the structures.
