As part of the City’s project to redesign and construct the Maintenance and Operations Center (MOC), the City is pursuing acquisition of Pacer Propane’s facility at 18459 NE 76th Street. This property is in close proximity to the current MOC facility and can be used for a variety of functions in support of MOC operations including construction staging, fleet maintenance, and supplemental off-site vehicle parking/storage. The City has been in negotiations with the property owner and has arrived at terms to move forward with the acquisition.
