City Council - Mar 17, 2026
The city is selling its vacant 3.3-acre Eden Avenue site for $4 million to build a restaurant, townhomes and condos. The deal could bring a couple million dollars into the affordable housing trust fund via a $40,000-per-unit fee, and the site will finally go on the tax rolls after 60+ years.
City Council Work Session - Feb 5, 2026
The city has owned this vacant land since 1962, and it's been tax-exempt the whole time. Selling it to a developer team would put it back on the tax rolls and bring new private development to the Grandview area. Negotiations are ongoing — no deal has been struck yet.
