Eye clinic tax break met with housing group opposition
Low income housing advocates and neighbors oppose an urban revitalization district around the Iowa Eye Center on First Avenue NE. They argue tax breaks for the $2.5 million clinic would reward housing destruction of 14 homes containing 22 units. City officials say the plan could save about $200000 in property taxes over 10 years and the council may vote next week.
