On Tuesday, November 10, 2020, the Marin County Board of Supervisors held a closed session to negotiate acquiring Novato’s Inn Marin located at 250 Entrada Drive, Novato (APN 160-161-21) as part of the State’s Homekey Program. Following this closed session meeting, the County has permanently withdrawn attempts to purchase Inn Marin, and issued the following statement:

“In closed session this afternoon, the Board discussed the potential acquisition of the Inn Marin at 250 Entrada Drive, Novato.  In light of not being able to reach an agreement with the Seller on price, the Board directed the County’s negotiators to no longer pursue the property.  The Board further directed the Clerk to cancel the Public Hearing on the proposed purchase previously scheduled for November 17, 2020, and to cancel any remaining publication of notices for the November 17th hearing on this matter.”

The Novato City Council will no longer consider or discuss taking a formal position on this matter, and tonight’s Council meeting agenda item regarding this topic will not occur.
