Impact analysis
The board has roughly $150,000 in excess funds it could potentially deploy, though ongoing maintenance and insurance costs were flagged.
Could jump-start redevelopment of long-vacant downtown buildings if the board follows through.
Taxpayers could carry costs on buildings that sit vacant if no developer steps up.
