The Press Bar burned down in February of 2020 in downtown St. Cloud. WJON reported on September 15th the purchase of half of the Press Bar site to the group who owns Cowboy Jacks.
The city is moving forward with a plan to clean-up the site of the former Press Bar in downtown St. Cloud. During Monday's meeting, the city council will be asked to approve an agreement with the owners of the property, along with authorizing the use of funds to pay for the clean-up and approving placing a lien on the property to recover the city's costs.
After several months of sitting in legal limbo, the pile of rubble that used to be the Press Bar in downtown St. Cloud is finally going to start being removed.
St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis joined me on WJON for a radio town hall meeting. He took questions from listeners and addressed a number of things. He talked about the cleanup process of the Press Bar site downtown.
