Impact analysis
You're on the hook for part of $3.4M upfront, and any renovation or moving costs could add to the tab.
City staff and residents could benefit if the move consolidates services and makes them easier to reach—and the seller gets a buyer.
Taxpayers could feel the hit if the purchase competes with other budget priorities or ends up costing more than promised.
