The Community and Economic Development Committee is meeting 05/26/2021. They have a couple time-sensitive items on their agenda.
The first is a request to approve a 6 month extension to the city’s Planning Option Agreement with Merge, LLC. Merge has been working on potentially developing the area just south of the library where the Blue Ramp and the Conway Hotel used to be. From the memo, “Merge, LLC has completed interviews with community stakeholders, prepared preliminary conceptual mixed-use plans, and begun assembly of the financing necessary. Given the cost to conduct the due diligence and prepare conceptual plans, Merge Urban Development Group would like the continued assurance that the City would be interested in selling these parcels for a mixed use development that is aligned with our Comprehensive Plan.”
The other item is a request to approve the offer to purchase Lot 1, Lot 27, Lot 28, and Lot 29 of Southpoint Commerce Park Plat No. 3 for $1.2 million. This area is just south of the Calumet/KK Walmart. Staff is recommending approval. Per the agenda, the committee may go into closed session to discuss this item.
