Poll: Should the Old Kent Hotel be Restored or Demolished

Tell us what you think should become of the downtown landmark

This week, members of Kent City Council agreed to offer the owner of the old Kent hotel $735,000 .

While it's unclear what will become of the building if the owner, Gregg Vilk of Vilco, LLC, agrees to the price, city leaders have said they don't intend to leave it as it stands today — vacant and run down.

That would leave two options: demolition or rehabilitation.
