SUBJECT: URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACTION GRANT APPLICATION
DATE: January 18, 1978
I am submitting for your consideration, on January 23, 1978, a
resolution authorizing submittal of an Urban Development Action
Grant (UDAG) application to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
AREA 219 284 - 9261
The grant, if approved, would be used in conjunction with private
sector investment to develop "the hole." The proposed project
would consist of an office /hotel /commercial complex and supporting
public facilities.
If UDAG funds can be obtained to finance the public portion of the
project containing:
(1) a 750 -800 space parking facility; and
(2) a common area (atrium) connecting the three
private buildings; and
(3) an enclosed pedestrian walkway connecting this
multi -use complex with the existing Century
Center and the proposed Century Mall
Then the privately financed portion of the project would include:
(1) a 132,000 square foot First Bank /Office Building; and
(2) a 300 room Marriott Hotel; and
(3) a 30,000 square foot office building

The nature of the site, that is, vacant land, single ownership and
strategic location makes this project extremely attractive to the
City. With the availability of UDAG funds, the site can be made
attractive to the private participants.
I believe that the proposed project offers the City a unique
opportunity to continue the development and revitalization of the
Central Business District. Therefore, I am requesting your favorable
consideration of the attached resolution.
