DISCUSSION: During the FY2005 federal appropriations process, the City requested and received an Economic Development Initiative (EDI) - Special Project Grant for its Central City Revitalization Initiative. The amount of the grant is $346,500.00. During the Central City Revitalization and Economic Development (CCRED) Committee meeting of May 6, 2008, staff recommended to leverage the EDI funds with private dollars to further develop the Sun Valley Industrial Park located in southeast Fort Worth within the Central City. The EDI funds do not have a matching requirement from the City. Staff anticipates that these funds will leverage private sector investment in the area. In order to maximize the location for industrial use, significant infrastructure improvements must be made. This EDI Grant enables the City to collaborate with the private sector to revitalize this area in order to provide additional industrial and job creation opportunities to the Central City. The EDI grant will be used towards the development of proposed improvements in the industrial park as allowed under the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement and applicable laws. The recommended project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
