RONAN — On April 7 Ronan City Council accepted the donation of two empty lots and a building located on Main Street.
The city will have to pay back taxes on the property, which total more than $7,000.
The Bilile property includes the empty parking spaces located at the northeast corner of Main Street and Third Avenue.
Councilmember Roger Romero said there is a renter interested in leasing the property from the city in the future.
The city has an April 30 deadline ticking against acquisition of the property. Another party has filed a tax lien against the building.
