216 North A Street vacant lot
Summary
The Tuckers have owned a CRA-sold lot for eight years without building. The board gave them one final year — but if construction doesn't start, the property automatically reverts to the city for the original $5,000. It's a test of whether CRA infill-housing deals get enforced.
