HREI: Needs to pay rent
I’ve been waiting for someone to write regarding HREI and non-payment of their lease for approximately 7 YEARS! (Coeur d’Alene Press July 19, 2025) According to the article, a new lease agreement should have been signed in 2018, why wasn’t it? Even though the lease supposedly wasn’t signed, the city should have required some type of payment or HREI should have been evicted!
Mayor McEvers broke the tie to give them “…a chance to get things in order.” Supposedly, HREI has “good standing” in the community and has many supporters. Then why hasn’t anyone stepped up to pay their rent? How many other businesses or individuals would love to not pay their rent and not be evicted? Mayor McEvers used the excuse “…there are limitations on how the brick building can be used…” and “You don’t want it sitting empty.” How does he know it would sit empty? HREI has been in the building for over two decades.
