YUCCA VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL MOVES TO PUT LIBRARY IN FORMER PFF BUILDING

The Yucca Valley Redevelopment Agency purchased the PFF Bank building for $1.6 million in October 2009, and the building has become an eyesore by sitting vacant ever since. In part two of a two-part report, managing editor Tami Roleff says the Yucca Valley Town Council held a special workshop Tuesday afternoon to hear about the costs of renovating the PFF Bank building into a county library and approved the negotiations over the lease with the countyā€¦.
In a workshop meeting held prior to the special town council meeting Tuesday, Yucca Valley council members were given more information about rehabilitating the former PFF Bank building into a county library and the townā€™s lease with the county for the library. A conservative estimate for renovating the building into a library is between $1.5 million and $1.8 million. The county will spend about $1 million on furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The town expects to charge the county about 65 cents per square foot for the new building (up from 27 cents per square foot now), increasing to 70 cents per square foot, over a 15-year lease. The timeline for completion of the renovated library is about 15 months. The council directed staff to move forward with the lease agreement with the county, which will be brought back to the council next month.
