  4. ACQUISITION OF THE FORMER FUCHS MIZRACHI SCHOOL PROPERTY • “Urban parks and open spaces are valuable resources. They can help improve the quality of life in urban areas, have essential environmental functions and, by increasing the attractiveness of places in which people live and work, can have economic benefits.” (The Economic Value of Open Space: Implications for Land Use Decisions, Paul Anton, Wilder Research, St. Paul MN) • “Open space has a statistically significant positive impact on the sales price of neighboring residential properties.” (The Royal Institute of Charted Surveyors, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK)

  5. ACQUISITION OF THE FORMER FUCHS MIZRACHI SCHOOL PROPERTY • “With the demand for increased protection of parks and natural open space in urban areas, many have questioned the benefits and costs these areas bring to the community and local government. Some view natural open space as underutilized, while others value it as a component of the quality of life in a neighborhood. More recently, natural open space benefits for stormwater management, habitat protection, recreation, groundwater capture, water and air quality improvements, and non-motorized transportation have been considered.”(Deborah Currin and Faculty of Law and School of Environmental Studies, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and Smart Growth, British Columbia)
