Re: Washington Sq Park between Crown Center/Union Station

Can you "swap" parkland? Won't this require a public vote? Or is this another one of those 99-year lease deals?

Re: 1914 Main

LCRA = tax abatement. Up to 10 years 100% abatement on any improvement. The City typically requires rezoning to UR when any incentive is used (TIF, PIEA, LCRA, etc.)
