There was discussion on risks associated with the EDA not having control of the subject
property. Mr. Eitel explained that by not purchasing the property there would be a loss in the
timeline as it relates to the current grant application and plans for streetscape improvements. In
addition the EDA would lose the advantage of acquiring the property without the cost of
business relocation. It was noted that the trail linkage improvements incorporated with the
redevelopment planning are included in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
