Reno's council starts the process to sell or lease 18 city properties, including riverfront land

If you use the Truckee riverfront, this one's for you. Reno City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to begin appraisals and research for the potential sale or lease of 18 city-owned properties, including two riverfront parcels. KOLO reports 15 are recommended for sale and 3 for lease.

The list includes the old Reno Police Department site on East 2nd Street, where a new central fire station had been planned. The city says it no longer needs space there for fire administration and the fire prevention bureau. It's now focused on rebuilding Station 1 on East 4th Street.

• Parking lot across the street: just under $1.5 million
• Final say: any sale needs City Council approval
• Old RPD site: if sold and a new location is found, proceeds would go to the fire station

“Before these properties get sold off, I would love to see the city sort of sit down and really think about what we really want to do with these properties”
