TID 5 territory amendment: Staff said the request removes a parcel (15-168-A) from TID 5 — an older downtown TID scheduled to terminate the following December — to allow two separate parcels to be combined so a proposed development can proceed. Staff noted the developer has submitted a preliminary TIF assistance application and that a separate new TID or development agreement could follow. The authority approved the territory amendment by voice vote.

TID 12 allocation amendment: The authority approved an allocation amendment to move $3,700,000 out of TID 12 (I-43 Industrial Park). Staff said $2,000,000 of that would be allocated toward public infrastructure and park improvements related to the JBS-area projects (TID 28), with the remaining funds to support acquisition, incentives and infrastructure in the South Broadway Shipyard area (TID 22). Staff said the joint review board met and recommended proceeding; the item will next go to the state redevelopment authority and back to the joint review board as required.

Habitat planning-extension: The authority approved a 30-day extension to a planning option for Habitat for Humanity covering three parcels at 1216, 1319 and 1321 South Broadway; staff said Habitat narrowed its original six-parcel proposal to three and requested additional time to revise designs after staff review.

Façade materials grant policy update: The authority approved a policy update to return the façade program to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding ($90,000 allocated) and to allow staff — using an established design review team and the development director’s signoff — to approve materials-only grants rather than bringing each application to the authority. Staff said typical grants have ranged from roughly $5,000 to $20,000 and that no strict cap is proposed. Boardmembers said they expect staff to report on project outcomes in director reports.

NeighborWorks and staff told the authority that construction hard costs per unit have risen to about $295,000 and the project is facing roughly $71,566.72 in overruns per unit. The total gap across the affected units was described in the meeting as about $286,266.88. NeighborWorks asked to tap a CHDO fund pot the authority holds—about $127,785—to help cover the shortfall for the four affordable units. Staff warned that using those funds would “virtually wipe out” the current set-aside until the next federal allocation, which staff said is expected to come in August–September.

Will and David (NeighborWorks Green Bay representatives) appeared before the authority and said the project is under construction and that the awarded general contractor, a local builder, has committed donated labor and is working with the organization to keep the project viable. The authority asked about procurement and bids; NeighborWorks said the project was bid to three contractors and had been redesigned twice to respond to market changes.

Boardmembers discussed the legitimacy of the cost increases, the source of CHDO funds, and the timing of replenishment. Staff confirmed that the CHDO pot is federal money and that future allocations would depend on the federal schedule. The authority voted to approve use of the CHDO funds to help the project proceed. Staff said the city has already invested $232,000 of HOME funds into the project.

Staff and NeighborWorks emphasized their commitment to the project and said the award is intended to get the four affordable units to completion amid a sharply rising construction-cost environment.","The Redevelopment Authority approved a request allowing NeighborWorks Green Bay to access CHDO-set-aside funds to help fill a roughly $286,267 construction-cost gap on a seven-unit townhome project that includes four affordable units; staff said the set-aside pot will be nearly exhausted if approved.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6278070,"Railyard North development agreement amended to add developer guarantees, PAYGo and new grant mechanics",1029,846000,1875000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2643107-14696fba84f3103d989a46b2168623df&start=846&end=1875","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2643107-14696fba84f3103d989a46b2168623df/thumbnail_846000.jpg","/articles/6278070/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Railyard-North-development-agreement-amended-to-add-developer-guarantees-PAYGo-and-new-grant-mechanics","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278070-decadf306e8402f40a42bd5fcc564ad2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139545&Signature=d6ASq0Ng6U-sgTEpLMQKXwjrDEkMy5ckl19l~UGq2r1zCL65XjIU4t2VJMZww7USjMY~1zXkWhFBxQkmX4bxP-EmTAmKxX8XD2BsyxUgUgZflnONRDYRzmrqZPxvoUO7cnaccvNTJbeKHJNGjRIQrjRkaHVn1BJCPRtOipc-0Q75xY6wu6ClBuXbpIr~2V7uePFgH2aq7PmNd2kcyMYgN2YARSIJvbxhNI7imULPDUuSK6P~tG5hxtAP1oV0kfPHQ6vx6HjCQkFm~yFpBN18Wwm6VAjcIp3DdHQUM9mNdX1tZz-J1s1LjuMiKGgs~ED1hgRLTDSJrC1wBIMw1UAaUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redevelopment Authority on a unanimous vote approved a first amendment to the 2017 development agreement for the Railyard North project with DBL Holdings, LLC and related parties, clarifying how base values and incentive payments will be calculated and adding a mechanism that requires the developer to make a supplemental payment if guaranteed minimum assessed values are not reached.

The amendment adds two main features: a pilot provision that obligates the developer to pay the shortfall if guaranteed minimum assessed values are not met, and a “future project grant” structure that awards payments to the developer only if total assessed value across the master parcel exceeds guaranteed minimum levels by specified thresholds. Under the grant formula described to the authority, a $1 million overage would trigger a $100,000 grant; a $5 million overage would trigger a $500,000 grant.

City staff and the developer told the authority the amendment is largely a clarification of terms in the original 2017 master development agreement and an operationalization of concepts that were omitted or underspecified at the time. David Dweck, legal counsel for the developer, said the changes “are clarification type of changes” and described the pilot provision as an insurance mechanism that protects the city if assessed values fall short.

Members discussed that the amendment keeps the previously negotiated guaranteed minimum assessed values in place even though the number of projected residential units in the amended plan was reduced. “The developer feels very confident that they’re going to be able to hit those values,” staff said, adding that the pilot provision provides a safety net for the city.

Officials also described a carve-out for base-value adjustments: as additional projects within the master parcel come online and receive their own base values, the main parcel’s base value will be reduced accordingly; that reduction increases PAYGo capacity for the remainder of the master parcel. Staff said the Railyard TID had been extended during recent negotiations, which affected some deadlines in the development agreement.

Developer and city representatives said some elements of the amended agreement are novel for the authority, including the future project grant. The council and RDA’s joint review board met on the amendment and recommended proceeding. The authority voted to approve the amendment; members voiced appreciation for the long-running negotiations and said the amendment helps move the long-delayed project forward.

The authority did not adopt new dollar amounts for the guaranteed minimum values in the public discussion; staff said reassessments and additional construction work remain to reach the projected values by 2026–2027 under the timeline included in the amendment.","The Redevelopment Authority approved a first amendment to the 2017 Railyard North development agreement with DBL Holdings and related parties, clarifying guaranteed assessed values, creating a pilot payment if values fall short, and adding a “future project” grant formula tied to assessed-value overperformance.","actionData","errors"]
