The hired inspector also gave an opinion that the AAC should not make the purchase. The AAC did not do any of the necessary homework, went ahead against advice of the inspector and paid $350,000 for a building that needs to be demolished (at a cost to the AAC), does not have parking (parking is property of the present rec center). so basically they paid this huge sum for a spot of ground. The final blow is the AAC also spent a lot of time considering a restaurant in the present building but evidently had overlooked a provision in the sales agreement that the building COULD NOT be used as restaurant.
$350,000 for a spot of land that doesn't have parking and cannot be used as a restaurant. Brilliant move by AAC, not.
