July 25, 2019 Regular Agenda Description: Redevelopment Funding Applications Staff Contact: Bruce Nordquist, AICP, Community Development Director Department / Division: Community Development Department ACTION REQUESTED: 1. Authorize staff to submit application to DEED for Redevelopment Program. 2. Authorize staff to submit Redevelopment Incentive Grant (RIG) to Dakota County CDA. SUMMARY: Staff seeks authorization to submit applications for redevelopment funds which are due or available on August 1, 2019. Staff became aware of these resources in early July as changes to each program were announced. The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), has a Redevelopment Grant and Loan program for sites which require remediation. The program's focus has subtly changed to allow for site which require soil correction and stabilization. This change allows staff to pursue funds for the site known as the Scannell property. The site has buried concrete debris which require soil stabilization prior to construction. This limitation has caused the site to remain undeveloped, which staff is seeking to remedy through a redevelopment program application. The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) has funded the Redevelopment Incentive Grant (RIG) program for many years, and the City has been the recipient of these funds for several projects. Examples include the public parking lot in Central Village and the street signals at 147th and Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The RIG program has been amended this year and allows year round application, with the application released August 1, 2019 and accepted monthly. Changes include the focus on improvements to site infrastructure and land acquisition. The redevelopment of Time Square has been impacted by large infrastructure improvements including storm water. The application would seek to assist with correction of storm water activities and/or acquisition of the property with the intent to redevelop the site with storm water improvements. BACKGROUND: The Scanell property has been vacant for approximately 8 years since Hanson Concrete vacated the site. Several development proposals have been evaluated for the site, but have been hindered by buried concrete and steel rebar, making the soils unstable for foundations. The City has stabilized a portion of the property in conjunction with a roadway project, but the remainder of the site requires stabilization. Working with the property owners staff hopes to leverage resources through DEED. Time Square is Apple Valley's first shopping center at 50 years old. Storm water and other private infrastructure on the site requires updating to facilitate redevelopment of this key comer in the downtown. The Dakota County CDA has recently adopted changes to the RIG program which fit the scale and scope of the redevelopment of Time Square. The first round of applications is due September 1, 2019 and if approved would be awarded in January 2020. BUDGET IMPACT: The applications for each project are required to be submitted by the City or EDA, however the project match required would be leveraging private resources. Obtaining these resources is highly competitive, would allow redevelopment at these sites, and advance redevelopment where it is not presently advancing. If funds are awarded for either or both programs, the City/EDA is required to accept the resources at a future time for redevelopment to proceed.
