Now that the government has surplussed the West End Heating plant everyone wants to know what is going to happen to it. Last night's ANC meeting included a brief presentation from a General Services Administration muckety-muck who shared that the building will go to the highest bidder, in an online auction, and there won't be any need for hopeful developers to submit proposals for what they plan to do with the property. Consternation ensued from the crowd, but whatever developer ends up winning the auction will still have to seek approval from the usual committees once a plan is developed. The only question now is, will it be condos or rentals? [previously; GM]
