The board will consider a Capital Improvement Grant request for 1418 Ford Street (map). This vacant house is zoned commercial and the owner is requesting assistance to replace the furnace and add central air conditioning. The owner is also requesting a professional services grant to remove trees. DDA may pay 50% of each of those costs,which would be $7360 (capital improvement) and $4855 (professional services). Learn more on pages 2-3 and10-22 of the meeting packet.
FoothillsArt Center at the Astor House is applying for a Capital Improvement Grant to repair damage to their HVAC system caused by a rat infestation in Miners Alley. The grant would cover HVAC repair, a new fence to protect the HVAC system, and drywall repair. The drywall repair cost is unknown until the HVAC repairs are complete. They also request a sign grant. Total projected costs are $14,768, so the 50% DDA reimbursement would total $7384. They also requested $5-6K to install permanent benches, since their back yard is a City Park. The DDA refused that request. Learn more on pp 5 and 23-29 of the meeting packet.
