Council approves acquisition of two properties
At their Dec. 12 meeting, city council approved the acquisition of two parcels of property at the intersection of Olive and Charles avenues directly across from the city hall and adjacent to the city library. These parcels, located at 505 W. Olive Ave., total 5.6 acres and are highly desirable due to their proximity to the city hall campus and downtown areas. According to city staff, the $17 million purchase of these properties will allow the city to accommodate its projected growing needs over the next 10 to 15 years.
