Public Engagement for Use of Vacant City-Owned Lots

The city is conducting a public engagement process to assist in developing a shared understanding and language about affordable housing, and its relationship to jobs, development, growth, and planning, by creating a framework for discussing or evaluating these issues. Specifically, issues will be discussed in the context of the redevelopment of six city-owned properties: 721 N. Main, 415 W. Washington, 353 S. Main, 350 S. Fifth, 309 S. Ashley, 121 E Catherine.
