The funds are allocated to purchase strategic properties that support downtown revitalization, municipal facilities, and redevelopment corridors. This acquisition is part of a broader municipal investment strategy to enhance community access, facility placement, and redevelopment capacity. The use of the 2022 bond funds to acquire 1883 NW 38th Avenue aligns with the State Road 7 CRA's core priorities - improving circulation, enhancing corridor identity, supporting strategic/smart redevelopment, and enabling civic investment.
