The Los Alamos Reporter received reports from sources earlier this week that the Los Alamos County Council agenda for the Tuesday, Dec. 15 meeting will include an item concerning a purchase agrement for the County to buy the former CB Fox building and the former Reel Deal Theater building, both on Central Avenue, by the County.

After reaching out to Council Chair Sara Scott and County Manager Harry Burgess for confirmation of the rumor, the Reporter spoke with Council Vice Chair Randall Ryti and later received an email with a letter written by Scott and Ryti on the issue for publication in local media.

The owner of the CB Fox property is listed on County records as Matt Miles of Tigard Pacific RE, LLC in Montrose, Colo. The Reel Deal property indicates it is owned by Reel Deal Theater LLC.

The Reporter reached out to Miles late Wednesday but he was in a meeting.
