Authorize the execution of an Economic Development Program Agreement with Texas Wesleyan University for the fagade renovation and redevelopment of individual buildings located in 3000, 3100, and 3200 blocks of East Rosedale Street in the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village, subject to non -material changes agreeable to both the City and Texas Wesleyan University. 2. Find the terms and conditions of the Economic Development Program Agreement, as outlined below, constitute acustom-designed economic development program as outlined in the 2007 Comprehensive Plan and as authorized by Chapter 380 of the Texas Local Government Code. DISCUSSION: On September 30, 2003, the City Council authorized execution of two Grant Agreements for receipt of Economic Development Initiative (EDI) —Special Project Grants in the amounts of $223,538 and $737,674 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the revitalization of the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village (M&C G-14105 and G-14106). The combined grants total $961,212 and are intended to leverage the private sector investment for the fagade renovation and redevelopment of buildings in the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village, as depicted in the attached map. The Polytechnic/Wesleyan project is headed by Texas Wesleyan University (TWU) in partnership with TSC Poly Retail, LLC. The fagade renovation and building redevelopment of eligible buildings located in the 3000, 3100, and 3200 blocks of East Rosedale will begin in January 2008. Once a verifiable portion of the project is completed, TWU will be entitled to receive a Program Grant in an amount equal to an agreed -upon percentage of the construction costs expended for that portion of the project. The project must be completed by September 1, 2008. In no event will TWU receive aggregate program grants greater than the amount of construction costs expended for the project or $961,212, whichever is less. Two additional key factors in the revitalization of the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village are the TWU book store and additional TWU security patrol. The relocation of the TWU book store from the campus to 3020 East Rosedale, which is at the southwest corner of Wesleyan and Rosedale Streets, will act as the anchor site for the redevelopment. Secondly, the expansion of TWU's security patrol from East Rosedale at the http://apps.cfwnet.org/council�acket/Reports/mc�rint.asp 8/25/2008 Page 2 of 2 north, to Avenue G at the south, to Binkley Street at the west, to Collard Street at the east and through the alley behind the 3000 and 3100 blocks is considered a vital aspect of the revitalization of this area. Total private investment is estimated at $2.7 million for this project; however, this amount does not include the approximate $1.2 million for the extensive progress being made by TWU on the 3200 block of East Rosedale that encompasses the addition of a married/family student housing development and the restoration of the historic Dillow House which includes a community meeting room and the permanent site for the business incubator. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that the funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grant Fund. The terms of this agreement will provide Texas Wesleyan University with estimated values of $223,538 and $737,674 for a total of $961,212. The incentives are expected to be less than the additional revenue received from the incremental taxed paid to the City.
