Part of the stipulation of the federal govt selling the VA hospital and all the facilities was that the city HAS to use it for public safety. They legally are not allowed to use that property for any other purchase. The cost of relocating all of those operations from the strip would dwarf the revenue from what they would recouperate from selling the land and the added tax revenue. Its not even close.
