Central Park Plaza

Redevelopment Project Plan.

Location: 222 South 15th Street

 

To consider a Resolution to RESCIND the Central Park Plaza Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Redevelopment Project which proposed the renovation of the two existing towers as well as the addition of a newly-constructed third 80,000 square foot tower that links the two existing towers which was adopted on February 1, 2022 by the City Council by Resolution No. 2022-0029.

Anyone interested in this matter should be in attendance.
