Future of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee?

With the California settlement looming (rumors are around $10MM), we now look at the action taken by the Diocese of Spokane:

The Catholic Diocese of Spokane has retained Keen Realty, LLC to market for sale two vacant parcels of land and a 28,968+/- sq. ft. Historic Catholic Pastoral Center, all located in Spokane, Washington.

Available for sale is a 92+/- acre vacant parcel of land located just northwest of Interstate 90 and Medical Lake Road, Freeway Exit # 272, in the West Plains area of Spokane, WA. The site is approximately 2 miles southwest of the Terminal at Spokane International Airport and about 7 miles from The City Center of Downtown Spokane. The subject property is fairly level, at grade and has excellent visibility with paved public access at several points.

Additionally, a 3.0+/- acre parcel of land is also available for sale in Spokane. This smaller site is located in a residential area and is adjacent to Painted Hills Golf Course.

Also available for sale is a 28,968+/- sq. ft., three-story Historic Catholic Pastoral Center. This general office building is located on West Riverside Avenue, was built in 1910, 1924 and 1989 and is zoned Central Business District-1 in Downtown Spokane.

Well, who needed all that land/buildings, anyway?
