Key takeaway The group had acquired land from the city's land bank after a lengthy process.
A local collective's plans for a Native center were put in jeopardy. The group had acquired land from the city's land bank after a lengthy process. However, a dispute arose over the collective's progress on the property.
The land bank claimed the collective did not provide required updates. This issue was apparently due to a miscommunication about contact information. The matter was resolved after the collective initiated contact with the land bank about purchasing adjacent land.
