Impact analysis
Buying the building could mean upfront purchase and upkeep costs for taxpayers, though it might also unlock redevelopment or revenue later.
Downtown residents and businesses could benefit if the city uses the site to spark redevelopment or improve the area.
Taxpayers could be harmed if the city overpays or the property sits unused, but no specific group is clearly hurt yet.
