This vacancy not only weakens regional stability but also <br /> creates barriers to attracting new residents and private investment. At the same time, this concentration <br /> of available land presents a powerful opportunity for transformative redevelopment if paired with the right <br /> tools and incentives. <br /> • Redevelop city-owned parcels into new single-family and multifamily housing, aligning with the <br /> findings of the Danter Housing Study on the urgent need for more diverse housing options. <br /> • Focused grant support for homeowners and businesses to stabilize existing housing, improve <br /> property conditions, and preserve affordability. <br /> • Revamp side-lot sales program to more strategically further neighborhood revitalization. <br /> • Corridor reinvestment to enhance the visibility and viability of the region as both a residential and <br /> commercial anchor, leveraging façade programs and infrastructure upgrades. <br /> 6 <br />
