We now know why the former Outlaw Inn has fallen into disrepair. The facility is in foreclosure, which puts everything in limbo for awhile. Perhaps not too much longer, though.
We’re told that Columbia Falls developer Mick Ruis has bought the papers on the property. He’s the one who fenced the property and hired security patrols to place the property in compliance with City Ordinances.
There’s a lot of formalities before Ruis can do anything with the property, but it’s likely the current buildings will be demolished. Ruis hasn’t said what he plans to do with the property on Hwy 93 South, but he’s the one who developed the Silos Apartments near the Parkline Trail on West Center Street in Kalispell.
