Wizer appeal schedueled: UPDATED

CLARIFICATION:  It seems I was not clear about Evergreen Group's permit for development on the Wizer block.  Evergreen Group (Patrick Kessi and investors) was granted approval by the City Council to build their mega-block.  However, they have not actually applied for any permits to do work on the site, Eg.: demolition, excavation, etc.  Evergreen Group would have to be crazy to begin any construction until all legal challenges are finished.  

The Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in the
Wizer development appeal on July 15, at 9:00 am in Salem.

This is the third appeal in the land use process.  The "loser" of this round can appeal to the State Supreme Court, but that would be the end of the road.

This is getting to be a nail-biter because Patrick Kessi has approval to begin construction.  But, if he begins to build and the decision is against him...

The race to the finish is on!
