Ms. Stipkovich reported the property would be developed in a cohesive manner for commercial retail uses and historical rehabilitation to the building would be required to bring it back to its original character.

Ms. Stipkovich stated the Agency would be purchasing the site for $500,000 and would be proposing to ask the Lang Company to incorporate the property into their current development.
