Montgomery Roberts block redevelopment and solid waste impasse
Summary
A downtown food court serving up to 1,000 people a day is stuck because the block's fragmented ownership can't accommodate the 28 cubic yards of daily waste the city says it can't collect. Council, CRA, and staff traded ideas for a permanent solution, with the CRA offering a $600,000 redevelopment grant.
