4 issues in development with high priority
Development agreement with Von Verde Partners LLC
Resolution No. 2418 would lock in a development agreement for land between Avenue E and Avenue D and between County 24 1/2 Street and 25th Street. Growth deals like this shape housing, traffic and the city's tax base for years.
Regional Center for Border Health hospital financing refinancing
The IDA raised its authorized bond amount to $110 million to complete financing for the Regional Center For Border Health's new hospital in San Luis — a project three years in the making. This was described as the final step before the bonds can be marketed and sold.
Commercial development of state land on Cesar Chavez Boulevard
State-owned vacant lots between Fourth and Sixth Avenues on Cesar Chavez Boulevard could become home to retail, hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops. Early consultant analysis says the market can support it — meaning residents might someday shop locally instead of driving to Yuma.
First five-year Capital Improvement Plan
The city is building its first-ever five-year CIP book to document planned infrastructure, parks and public safety projects. Council members said it could help make the case for a property tax or bond measure, though no such decision was made.
