Are You Aware that the PVE Foundation Provided a Grant to AECOM* to Study Renovating or Redeveloping PVE City Hall?

“Additional Uses” being studied for PVE City Hall:

  1. Small hotel

  2. Dining and small shops

  3. Professional offices

  4. Attached Housing (Sale, Rent, and Senior)

Does this mean that the City could sell our land in exchange for receiving revenue from a property developer?
