Summary

After L and H’s withdrawal, HRA staff said they will work with housing and economic development to reengage the Corcoran neighborhood, shape an RFP that reflects current county housing priorities, and return to the board with a recommended approach for phases 3 and 4.

Board members directed staff to return with a new request for proposals for the undeveloped parcels and to reengage the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization to inform goals for the solicitation. Spencer Agnew said staff would coordinate with the county’s housing and economic development team and solicit neighborhood input prior to returning a recommended proposal.

Commissioners emphasized using the opportunity to align future development with updated county housing goals and to seek partners more likely to deliver deeper affordability. No timetable for the RFP was fixed in the meeting transcript beyond staff stating intent to develop the solicitation and return to the board with recommended options.
