Two bids placed on Beaver Valley property

    After many months of discussion amongst the Cascade School Board along with a lot of prodding from eager buyers and Plain residents - the Beaver Valley property sale saga is pushing toward its last chapter. The Cascade School board met April 29 in a special meeting and reviewed the two bids that were received by the deadline (April 29 at 4 p.m.).
    According to a statement from superintendent Bill Motsenbocker, the two bids were placed by Lake Wenatchee Fire and Rescue and Kirby Phillips representing Beaver Valley Community Recreation Association. Lake Wenatchee Fire and Rescue put in a $340,000 cash bid. Phillips requested an east and west subdivision line to separate the north 2.79 acres and south 2.58 acres into two parcels. There would then be a ten year lease agreement at $1,000 per year for the north parcel with an option to buy the parking on school property and shared well.
    According to Motsenbocker, the board will take action at the next school board meeting on May 13 at 7 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Discovery School which is located on the National Fish Hatchery site for those interested in attending.
