Council OKs four-month extension request for Star Block commercial rehab project
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to sign a letter granting a four-month extension for the Star Block Commercial Rehabilitation Project after the developer cited interior construction delays; the authorization passed 8-0.
City Manager Katie Hodge told the council that unforeseen interior construction issues have delayed completion of retail spaces in the Star Block rehabilitation, prompting a request for a four-month extension to the project's timeline. Council Member Cathryn Houghton moved to authorize the mayor to sign the extension request letter; Council Member Jeff Tice seconded the motion, and it passed 8-0.
The extension authorizes additional time for the commercial rehabilitation project to complete interior work before the retail spaces open. Rod Willis was present as the Star Block representative; the transcript records the council’s authorization but does not list conditions or revised completion dates beyond the four-month request.
