U R A Authorizes Development of Midland-Washington Redevelopment Plan
Grants Pass City Council reconvened as the Urban Renewal Agency following their Wednesday night business session.
The Agency authorized a contract with a private consulting firm, First Forty Feet, to prepare a mixed-use redevelopment plan in tandem with a commercial market and feasibility study for approximately eight acres of Urban Renewal Agency owned property bounded by Northwest Washington Boulevard, Northwest Midland Avenue and Northeast 6th Street.
The Opportunity Plan will be developed over the next nine months and will include two primary elements. The first is a community engagement phase that will involve two public workshops, stakeholder interviews and surveys and will result in citywide input on desired land uses involving agency owned property.
The second element is a commercial market analysis led by Leland Consulting group that will assess demographics, economic trends, and real estate conditions for the site.
The project will be 100% funded by the Urban Renewal Agency through funds already allocated for this project.
