County executive recommends $250,000 for Elizabeth House demolition; committee accepts recommendation
Summary
After HOC secured a $750,000 state revitalization grant, the executive recommended the county contribute $250,000 as a partial match toward Elizabeth House demolition; the committee accepted the executive recommendation but declined to add the remaining $800,000 to current revenue.
Council staff told the committee the county had previously appropriated $1.5 million toward Elizabeth House demolition, HOC had matched with $1.5 million, and that an additional $1.8 million cost was later identified. HOC secured a $750,000 state revitalization grant, reducing the request to $1,050,000; the executive recommends $250,000 in FY27 as a partial match.
"Since then, there has been an additional cost identified of $1,800,000... HOC has secured a state revitalization program grant of $750,000 reducing the outstanding need for this project to 1,050,000. The executive recommends... $250,000 as a partial match of the state grant," staff summarized. Committee members accepted the executive recommendation and rejected adding the remaining $800,000 in current revenue to the reconciliation list, citing budget constraints and prioritization of resident services.
