Restoration company sues city over Mapes decision

Friday, June 26, 1998 | 3:35 a.m.

Truckee River Restorations Inc. wants to halt the destruction of the downtown landmark until a judge decides whether Reno should seek a new round of proposals.

Truckee Rivers Restoration President Lawrence Denig said his company and another firm spent $1 million in 1992 for studies and plans to restore the Mapes.

The deal fell through when they could not obtain financing for the renovation.

He had argued since for re-opening of the proposals process.

Denig said the plans offered by DDR-OliverMcMillan and approved by the city earlier this week are curiously close to the ones he drew up six years ago.
