Housing Finance Authority Lot Purchases (Safford Avenue Area)
Description
The city is looking at buying about 15 vacant county-owned lots at ~$15,100 each for mixed-use redevelopment on Safford and affordable infill housing elsewhere. Direction given to proceed; no purchase yet.
Impact summary
Could transform a long-vacant stretch near downtown into shops, housing, and a better gateway — and get the vacant lots back on the tax roll.
