Federal courthouse acquisition and reuse
Description
The city may acquire the 2.08-acre former federal courthouse at up to 100% discount via public benefit conveyance once GSA disposes of it in about a year; education and affordable housing are the candidate uses.
Impact summary
A free landmark building downtown — but rehabilitation costs and historic covenants could complicate any reuse.
