In a rare legal move, the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority is set to take immediate control of the former El Palomino Motel on North College Avenue. A District Court order granted the city agency possession following an eight-hundred-thousand-dollar deposit to current owner Globok LLC. The action marks a pivotal step in using eminent domain powers to acquire and clean up the long-blighted property. City officials plan to take formal possession in early November to advance revitalization efforts along the northern gateway corridor.
