FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM -- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Executive Director reported that Staff found out last week about
a federal grant program to be handled by the Department of
Transportation. The grant would make available economic development
opportunities around a multi modal terminal. Staff is preparing a
request for this grant and will bring it back to the Agency. The
Federal Government will grant Cities money to do private development
around a multi modal terminal. There will be five projects approved
throughout the united States -- each one funded up to $6,000,000.
Staff anticipates budgeting approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000 for
capital improvements around the terminal, such as street signal
computerization.
The Executive Director stated that Staff will come back before the
Agency at a later date, but did want to inform the Agency that Staff
was submitting a letter of interest to the Department of
Transportation for this grant.
A motion was made by Mr. Garthe, seconded by Mr. Ward and carried
unanimously to receive and file the report.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the Community Redevelopment
Agency, the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 P.M. upon the motion of
