Summary

Staff reported $91.1M of $102M DRP allocation awarded and highlighted three improving-neighborhood projects: Longfellow Midtown ($1.5M), Fairview pool-house demolition (third bid cycle, opening Sept. 3), and development of an MBE compliance tool.

Abby provided a midyear status update on the city’s Development and Reinvestment Program (DRP), saying about $91.1 million of the $102 million allocation has been awarded and roughly $79.44 million spent so far.

She identified three improving-neighborhood projects that have not yet started: Longfellow Midtown (a United Church home housing project with a $1.5 million allocation), the Fairview pool-house demolition (the bid returned only two unsatisfactory bidders and a third bid cycle is scheduled with opening on Sept. 3), and an MBE compliance tool intended to help engage diverse businesses and support prevailing-wage compliance inside future systems.

"The grantee has received notification of the historic tax credit to support the project and is working closely with the project manager to finalize the agreement," Abby said about Longfellow Midtown. Staff said they expect the Longfellow Midtown agreement to come forward for approval in the second half of 2026.
