THE PLAN, ONE TOPIC AT A TIME

Here’s what better means.

PROPOSED

Homes and basic bills families can afford.

A concrete step

Use one downtown site for mixed-income housing and ground-floor community or commercial use.

Timing, costs & who decides

Proposed timing: Years 1–2
Who decides: Council land action and competitive process
Funding path: Housing funds, developer capital, long-term lease

No dollar estimate is published. Timelines start upon taking office, if elected, and depend on votes, funding and public review.
