The City of York Redevelopment Authority is soliciting proposals for design re-uses for 594-596 West Princess Street, which formerly had a nuisance bar on the first floor. Originally constructed in 1882, this corner structure has six single residency units on the second floor. According to current York County tax records, the assessed value of this 6,012 square foot, three-story structure is $90,460 (i.e., $14,590 for land and $75,470 for building). The parcel identification number is 09-225-06-0020.00-00000. Please
see enclosed Addenda A for area parcel map.

Since this is a key structure in the Salem Square Redevelopment Area, a partnership between the YMCA, the City of York, the Salem Square Neighborhood Association, and faith-based institutions, the Redevelopment Authority is seeking a design re-use plan that accommodates anchor tenants and uses in the neighborhood -- tenants and uses that build neighborhood trust, communication, solidarity, and pride.
