Summary

The EDA discussed a workforce-housing concept for the city-owned Newlander site that planning commissioners supported; staff said the project would proceed only if it receives housing tax credits and may require a tentative purchase agreement contingent on those credits.

A developer-proposed workforce-housing concept for the city-owned Newlander site (near the fire station) received favorable feedback from the planning commission, Dan told the board.

Dan said the project team's revision addressed earlier site concerns and now includes a community garden and other features; he cautioned the project "would only go if it gets the housing credits much like the new or much like the OJU site." The EDA discussed possibly advancing entitlements and a tentative purchase agreement contingent on a tax-credit award so construction could follow in 2026 if credits are granted.
