Cape Girardeau city development officials have issued a request for proposals from developers for three blighted properties in the city’s downtown. If selected, developers have the opportunity to have properties 631, 633, and 635 on Good Hope Street donated to them at no cost, and also a tax lien waived, if they complete the project.
Director of development for the city of Cape Girardeau, Alex McElroy, says the buildings were slated for condemnation, but were given a second chance.
