The long-vacant police headquarters and jail property might finally get a new life. At Monday night's finance committee meeting, a developer floated the idea of turning the site into a steakhouse, surrounded by a walkable, family-friendly park.
An early concept was presented to gauge interest, and the city liked the concept. Now, the developer, Mike Mouron, will refine the details and bring back a more formal plan for review.
Proceeds from the sale of the space that the steakhouse would sit on would be placed in escrow to fund improvements to the city-owned space that would become the park, with the developer covering any costs beyond the escrow amount.
