City Council / Public Works Authority — September 14, 2026
The city committed up to $1.45 million in public assistance to two private downtown projects — 28 rental townhomes on Hurd Street and the rehab of a historic 1929 office building on Broadway. Both are TIF-style deals that pay out only after construction and taxes are paid, but the Broadway deal drew a rare dissent over the developer's track record on delayed projects.
