Space is also available at a commercial rate, though community use is supposed to be prioritized. After all, the whole reason for the city taking on the project was to prevent a corporate takeover. “Anything more than 20% use for these commercial uses … would feel like we were failing as an organization,” Navarrete-Rackauckas said.
