City says Harbor Point boardwalk is in design; staff flags long timeline and engineering challenges
Summary
Staff told the TIF board Harbor Point planning includes a bond‑funded boardwalk now in design and emphasized the work will be long term because of lakefront engineering and site constraints, with potential future TIF participation for suitable redevelopment.
Staff member (S5) described Harbor Point as a long‑term redevelopment prospect and said the city is in the design phase for a boardwalk around the lake funded through a bond program in 2025. “we are in the design phase of a boardwalk around that,” the staff member said, and warned the site has complex facility and engineering issues requiring the right developer and careful planning.
Staff said the Harbor Point area, along with a Rose Hill frontage property the city owns near I‑30, represent two promising opportunities that could benefit the TIF if and when development aligns with the long‑range plan. The board asked for design updates and a GIS overlay for further review; staff agreed to return design materials when they are available.
