Redevelopment Commission
The meeting began with the approval of prior meeting minutes.
Zach Wirrig, Director of Projects presented an offer for the 1.7 acre lot. This has been proposed as a long term lease agreement with the RDC. The term of the lease is 120 months. A few commission members stated that they feel the offer was low and that the escalation percentage was low as well. The board voted to allow Mark Klosterkemper to be the representative to engage in negotiations moving forward. The board did not accept the offer as presented.
They received a letter of intent on the 12 acre property that the RDC owns. They have asked for a 180 day due diligence period. The purchaser of the property mostly works in retirement communities and other age restricted housing. The members of the commission stated that they are looking to see retail go into this lot. The commission voted to deny this offer.
The Retail Gap Analysis has wrapped up and the final report has been sent to commission members. Zach asked the commission members to review it and let him know if any updates are needed. Zach then provided an overview of what the analysis report overviews with some data that was found within the report. The report supports the need for additional retail, sit down restaurants, and other items that will help support the local economy and provide additional options to citizens and visitors to Greensburg.
The commission approved all claims.
