The gravel lot has seen little activity for two decades, ever since the city purchased it and removed an old house for the benefit of the city’s fire depart- ment. The vision for the lot has changed in the past few years; city leaders now view it as es- sential to downtown revitaliza- tion. Plans are to spend $100,000 on the lot, funds that already are sitting in the urban renew- al agency’s coffers.
