COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 9/30/2003 - Ord. #15700
DATE: Tuesday, September 30, 2003
LOG NAME: 17POLYEDI REFERENCE NO.: **G-14105
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Apply for and Accept an Economic Development Initiative - Special Project Grant
for Building Restoration in the Polytechnic Heights Urban Village and to Execute Related Grant
Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept an Economic Development Initiative (EDI) - Special
Project grant in the amount of$223,538 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for building restoration in the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village; and
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 $223,538, upon receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION:
During the FY2003 federal appropriations process, the City requested and received two EDI - Special
Project grants totaling $961,212 to revitalize the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village along the East
Rosedale Street priority commercial corridor. This project, referenced in the Conference Report (HR 108-
10) accompanying the VA-HUD-Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, specifies $223,538 for building
restoration in the city center (B-03-SP-TX-0760). The City Council unanimously selected redevelopment
activities within the Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village as the EDI-Special Project appropriations priority
for FY2003. The Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village is one of ten urban villages that the Commercial
Corridors Task Force targeted for redevelopment. The EDI funds do not have a matching requirement.
EDI funds would leverage significant private-sector investment to refurbish the period retail buildings along
the main street, upgrade the infrastructure, and support the development of an infill two-story mixed-use
office/residential building along the corridor. The project boundaries are along E. Rosedale Street between
Beach Street and Bishop Street. Significant economic improvement to this area would assist in overcoming
barriers that challenge independent private investment. The Polytechnic/Wesleyan Urban Village project
promises to be a redevelopment catalyst and create jobs and housing opportunities for the immediate area.
The budget includes the cost of site preparation, utilities and infrastructure, pre-development expenses,
Architectural and Engineering (A&E) expenses, inspection fees, construction, demolition and removal,
contingencies, facade improvements, and other building restoration activities within the project area. The
project is expected to be completed in June 2005.
