mutually beneficial and supportive business clusters within the
<br />community. The construction of this project will contribute toward
<br />an economically balanced community by providing housing and
<br />commercial retail opportunities (e.g., restaurant, retail sales, etc.)
<br />for different demographics in an area rich with employment
<br />opportunities, commercial development, and market -rate
<br />housing. In addition, a fiscal and economic impact analysis
<br />estimates that the proposed development will result net positive
<br />fiscal impacts to the City, the Business Improvement District, and
<br />over 800 new temporary or permanent jobs. Specifically, the
<br />analysis estimates $5.4 million net new General Fund revenues
<br />associated with the project over a 25-year period. The mixed -use
<br />development will utilize existing water, sewer, and drainage
<br />infrastructure and will not result in the expansion of infrastructure.
<br />In addition, the Project will not result in the need for expansion of
<br />new or altered police or fire facilities.
