2 Tayco Street restoration instead of demolition

Rather than tear down the storm-damaged oldest commercial building downtown, the city is putting $150,000 toward a private restoration, with the new owner rehabbing it into apartments and commercial space. The city projects about $16,000 a year in new property taxes once complete.

Lawson Canal redevelopment concept

After more than 20 years of discussion, the council approved a concept plan to fill in and redevelop the canal area, potentially with townhouses, a hotel and event venue. It's a blueprint, not a final build-out, but it sets the city's direction for a rare large development site in a landlocked city.
