The City purchased the properties in 2022 to eliminate the existing blight condition and remove potential public (trip) hazards from the site. Minor grade work was done to correct the grade condition and allow for additional public parking on the site. Proposals should enhance and reinforce the overall vision for Union’s Downtown Business District. Proposed projects should produce a long-lasting development that projects a positive community image, increases the value of surrounding properties and add access to public convenience/services. Sustainable design elements are encouraged. Parcel consolidation will be considered to achieve project objectives. The City is also willing to retain and maintain some of the property for public use, including parking or green space areas designated as part of the project
