CDRA staff urges Midway City to delay decisions on redevelopment agency status pending state action
Summary
Agency staff reported consulting the Governors Office of Economic Opportunity and recommended the CDRA delay decisions on the agency's future until the state legislature completes consideration of changes affecting inactive redevelopment agencies; staff scheduled a follow-up call with GOEO.
Brad, an agency staff member, told the board he had contacted the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity and that the office advised holding off on decisions affecting redevelopment agencies that are inactive or without projects. "We think it would be to your advantage, to hold off on making a decision," Brad said, and he recommended the mayor and staff continue discussions with GOEO and monitor pending legislation.
Brad said he has a follow-up call scheduled with GOEO the following week to discuss options in more detail. He described the state's concern that many redevelopment agencies are inactive or defunct and said the legislature may offer options that Midway could use.
The board did not take formal action on the CDRA's future during the meeting; staff recommended waiting for additional information from GOEO and the outcome of the legislative session before deciding.
