Sale of Bryant Commons CRA Property

Summary

The CRA could sell its land at 9th Avenue East and 3rd Street East for $511,000 to a developer planning affordable townhouses or walk-up apartments — potentially near $5-10 million in private investment. But the appraisal came back at $850,000 including two rental houses the appraiser was told to exclude, and the board wants that fixed before any deal.
