Salem developer John Miller is looking to buy 11 acres of Sunwest-held property at the Fairview Industrial Park.

Miller is hoping to attract specialty food processors to the property, which includes a 14,000-square-foot warehouse.

On Monday, the city’s Urban Renewal Agency Board, which consists of the mayor and City Council, took action to help advance Miller’s plans. But a federal judge will have the final say: Miller is attempting to buy property that is tied up in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The vacant land and warehouse are part of the holdings of Sunwest Management Inc. and its related entities, a Salem senior housing business whose nationwide operations collapsed amid financial problems and allegations of fraud.
