[Source: Barbara Stocklin, City of Phoenix] — The Phoenix City Council approved a proposal to re-negotiate the city’s existing development agreement for the historic Luhrs Block, located between Central and 1st Avenues and Jefferson and Madison Streets, and to provide up to $500,000 in Demonstration Project Funding for exterior rehabilitation work on the vacant Luhrs Building. The re-negotiated agreement will allow the demolition of a two-story building, but provide stronger protections for the north half of the block. The City is working on finalizing the development and grant agreements with the property owner.
