(ABC 6 News) – The City of Albert Lea has saved a building from demolition, as part of a pilot project to save distressed structures that the city acquires through unpaid taxes. The city council approved the sale of the buiding, built in 1920, to Big Dream Organics which is looking to expand, and the deal was finalized Thursday with the company paying $29,900 for the property at 1039 S. Broadway Ave.. The storefront will become fully rehabilitated, creating jobs, and bringing a financial boost to the local economy, officials boasted.
