84th Street redevelopment: City Council vote now offers La Vista an option for future
“An agenda item up for a vote Tuesday could better position the City of La Vista to one day seize the blighted Brentwood Crossing shopping center through eminent domain.
The resolution before the City Council would allow the city’s Community Development Agency to acquire the nearly vacant shopping center that previously housed a Walmart and a Hobby Lobby. It is a follow-up to last month’s approval of an 84th Street redevelopment plan.
City officials envision the Brentwood property as a key piece in Vision 84, the sweeping plan to revitalize La Vista’s aging 84th Street retail corridor and turn it into a mixed-use downtown destination.”
