Impact analysis
A $1.2 million purchase from the economic development reserve — no general fund hit beyond that, with the seller required to fix up the parking lot.
Downtown businesses, diners, and shoppers — plus the whole city if the anchor project sparks private investment the way it did in Livermore.
The Ray of Hope Crisis Center tenant must relocate, though the city has pledged to help find it a new home.
