The agreement changes the property sale price from $500,000 to $3 million because the Authority will handle the property's cleanup and demolition. The developer must submit updated design materials by July 2026 and a site plan application by October 2026. Demolition is targeted to begin before the end of 2026 and be completed by March 2027, with deadlines extending automatically if the property is not delivered on time.
