Impact analysis
Keeping the land forgoes roughly $1.1 million in sale proceeds plus future property tax revenue.
Residents near the greenway get preserved trees and open space, and the African-American community gains potential recognition of historic sites.
Taxpayers forego sale revenue; proponents of selling to recoup the purchase price do not get that outcome.
