Bellingham wants developer offers for Aloha, Old Town sites

Developers can now make their offer to develop the site of the former Aloha Motel and a vacant piece of land in Old Town known as the Army Street property.

The city hopes that developers will break ground on both sites within a year and a half of closing a deal on each property, as part of a push to revitalize the city core.

“Both of these sites have the opportunity to turn those neighborhoods,” said Tara Sundin, community and economic development manager for the city.
