Submitted By:
Letecia McNatt
Strategic Focus Area
:
Growing Economic Base
Commercially Thriving Downtown
Vibrant Neighborhoods and Commercial Centers
Issue/Summary
Following the completion of significant public improvements in the downtown district, strategic redevelopment efforts are now focused on underutilized city-owned properties within it. A balance between modernization, historical character, and timely execution are key concerns in this initiative while striving to stimulate economic growth. This agenda item introduces a suggested project plan to solicit proposals from a successful master developer for the revitalization of
519 W. State Street, 713 Austin Street, 316 N. Glenbrook Avenue, 415 W. Avenue A, 116 S. Sixth Street, 703 W. Avenue A, and 717 W. Avenue A.
Background
Historically, the downtown district has been central to the city’s cultural and economic life. Yet, with time, certain city-owned properties within this area have not realized their full potential, affecting the district's vibrancy and economic output. The strategy to redevelop these properties has been shaped to include external expertise and community engagement to ensure a balanced and forward-looking approach.
Consideration / Recommendation
Staff is seeking Council’s endorsement to proceed with this approach, ensuring redevelopment efforts are aligned with community vision.
