Summary

Commission members reported that a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit submission for Front Street has been filed and that the city council is discussing issuing a parallel RFP if the tax-credit approach is unsuccessful; the redevelopment commission did not take formal action at the Aug. 11 meeting.

At the Aug. 11 meeting a commission member said the Front Street tax-credit housing application has been submitted and reported hearing that the Lawrenceburg City Council is considering issuing a request for proposals (RFP) in parallel. Commission Executive Director Bridal Messmore said she had not been at the council meeting and did not have full details, but she described a contingency approach discussed at the council: if the tax-credit project were not successful, the city would pursue parallel work so an alternative approach to the same housing outcome would be available. The remarks were informational; the redevelopment commission did not vote on or direct staff to prepare its own RFP during the Aug. 11 session. Staff and commissioners noted they had limited information and that further details would come from the city council process if the council advances an RFP.
