Title
Resolution authorizing and directing the Department of City Development and advising the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee to take actions relating to redevelopment of the Hartung Quarry site.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes and directs the Department of City Development to prepare, and advises the Redevelopment Authority to support, a tax incremental district boundary and project plan for redevelopment of the Hartung Quarry site, located at 3342 North Argonne Drive. It also authorizes and directs the Department of City Development to make a good-faith effort to acquire the multi-family properties located at 3461, 3471 and 3479 North 99th Street (and 3450 and 3460 North 99th Street, if funds are available) through private negotiations, rather than use of eminent domain powers, so that these properties may be included in the Hartung Quarry tax incremental district boundary and project plan.
The tax incremental district would fund development of a park and up to 17 single-family lots, including related infrastructure improvements, on the Hartung Quarry site. It would also fund the acquisition of the specified properties. In addition, proceeds from the sale of the new lots would be used to fund acquisition of the multi-family properties.
