Top issues during term (12)(Development)
Gilpin Court redevelopment partnership
Deeply affordable housing costs more to subsidize per unit, so redevelopment will produce fewer units at the same investment.
Multifamily construction on North 21st Street
Unknown.
Townhomes at 5706 York Road
Multifamily housing at 1209 Overbrook Road
Historic district property improvements requiring certificates of appropriateness
Pre-approved ADU designs are proposed to cut design and construction costs for homeowners.
Blanton House lease expansion for Cancer Retreat Centers
Additional lease revenue for the city, with terms set in the amendment.
Homeless Services Strategic Plan
33 townhomes at former Seventh Street Christian Church site
Demolition of the 23,000-square-foot church and new townhome construction reshape a full block of Grove Avenue; the church sale funds its congregation's next chapter.
Employee homebuyer program expansion
The program is currently funded through ARPA, but the amendment fixes the underlying eligibility policy so it can continue under future funding.
Commerce Road mixed-use development land sale
The city will receive about $7.4 million from the two parcel sales.
Mosby Court South Redevelopment
Oak Grove Hillside Bellemeade Community Plan
A planning document itself, but it shapes where future public investment goes.
