Summary explanation & background: Staff is preparing an application to the Department of Community Affairs for the Urban Infill and Redevelopment Assistance Grant Program. The Urban Infill and Redevelopment Program was established to reduce urban sprawl, revitalize urban areas and keep those core urban areas fiscally strong. To assist with this effort, the 1999 legislature earmarked $2.5 million specifically for this purpose. The legislature directed the Department of Community Affairs to set up a competitive application process to award funds to those local governments that successfully demonstrate they are actively involving area stakeholders in the holistic and collaborative planning process as well as the implementation process to revitalize the urban infill and redevelopment area. City staff has been contacting community stakeholders in the 805.001, 805.002, and 805.003 census block groups and has received positive feedback regarding the area's designation as an urban infill and redevelopment area. This application will seek approximately $50,000 for a holistic planning process focusing on the aforementioned census block areas. These areas were chosen because they met the five threshold criteria in the application. 5. Attached Exhibits (please list): A. Sample application B. Proposed Boundary Map 6.
