Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept an Economic Development Initiative (EDI) — Special Purpose grant in the amount of $198,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support the Central City revitalization initiative within the Oakland Corner Urban Village; 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a grant agreement with HUD, if the City is awarded the grant; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Fund by $198,000, upon receipt of the grant. DISCUSSION: During the FY2006 federal appropriations process, the City requested and received an EDI — Special Purpose Grant of $198,000 to support Fort Worth's Central City revitalization initiative. An essential component of the initiative consists of supporting "catalyst projects" within Fort Worth's central city, with emphasis on projects that redevelop urban villages as designated in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The EDI Grant (B-06-SP-TX-1004) will be used to leverage private investment that will renovate a dilapidated and vacant shopping center located at the north east corner of Oakland Boulevard and East Lancaster Avenue. The redevelopment of the Oakland Shopping Center has been a significant element to the overall revitalization strategy of the Oakland Corners Urban Village as originally presented to City Council in November 2001. The project consists of the renovation of an existing 48,000 square foot shopping center and the construction of a new commercial use on the site of a Grandy's destroyed by fire in 2002. It is anticipated that the $1,500,000 investment would result in bringing jobs to the area, filling the vacant commercial space, and upgrading the tenant mix as well as the appearance of the retail center. The EDI grant helps to address the financial gap of the project and is therefore is a part of an incentive package, which will be outlined for City Council consideration at a later date. The Project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8 and in the Oakland Corners Urban Village. http://www.cfwnet.org/council�acket/Reports/mc�rint.asp 2/5/2007 Page 2 of 2 FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
