Summary
The Service Committee approved Resolution 26‑31 to convey a city‑owned parcel to Newark Delaware Partners, the city’s economic‑development arm, to pursue redevelopment; Director Rhodes said the agency will coordinate with the mayor and city staff.
The Service Committee approved Resolution 26‑31 to convey certain city‑owned property to Newark Delaware Partners, described in committee as the city’s economic‑development arm for industrial, commercial distribution and research uses.
Director Rhodes told the committee the city has used this approach previously: the parcel would be transferred to the development arm, which would then work with the mayor and city to pursue redevelopment. "This is something we've done in the past," Rhodes said.
The committee moved the resolution forward with a motion by Neely and a second by Cost; the vote was recorded as 5–0.
