From the meeting
At the September 21, 2026 pre-council meeting, the city reported ongoing discussions with the owner of the Carlisle Building on Main Avenue. Staff said a prior housing plan was effectively killed by a state law change that prevented stacking LITECH funds with historic tax credits, and financing still does not pencil out. The building has been cleaned out with grant funding, so the site remains a live redevelopment watch item even though no procurement is open.
