Creating a plan to develop the City owned 180 acres to issue an <br />RFP is a part of the 2025 EDA Workplan. <br />Megan Flanagan presented on the benefits of a Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) offered by the Urban <br />Land Institute at the EDA meeting on February 4, 2025 and came back with a proposal on March 15, <br />2025. Two options were presented on. Option 1 is for a 1.5 day scope of work that costs $17,500 and <br />Option 2 is for 2.5 days and costs $35,000. <br />Staff has been in communication with the Washington County Community Development Agency <br />regarding Predevelopment Finance Funds (grant funds) to assist in paying for the TAP. Staff will <br />continue to explore this further if City Council approves a proposal from ULI for the TAP.
