City Council - Jul 20, 2026
Council authorized CURA to build a plan to fix blighted East End properties — a study flagged 38 of them near Washington Street and the Roseville Center. The goal is revitalization, more businesses, and preserving the area's historic character, with safeguards against eminent domain over owner-occupied homes.
