Highlighted Policy Paper: Rouse Property Development

Last updated: May, 2020

We analyze a possible development of the Rouse property, a nine-acre site near McKinley and Wilson. We find that the county would have to pay more than $25 million to purchase this property to save it as open space, however, as much as $13 million of that would be recouped by 2030 from lower expenditures on school and county services for the new residents.
