Dear Common Council Members:
Enclosed is a Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application in the amount of
$248,000 to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Economic
Development Initiative program. These funds will be used to implement the Studebaker /Oliver
Redevelopment Strategy previously adopted by the Common Council.
These grants have been received for the Studebaker /Oliver Redevelopment Project in the past,
and are federal special project grants that are awarded by Congress before the formal application
documents are submitted. Hence the submission resolution being submitted after the funds were
"awarded" on December 8, 2004.
I respectfully request your approval of this Resolution. Please contact me at 245 -6112 with any
questions you have concerning this Resolution. I will be presenting this item at both the
Committee and Council meetings.
Sincerely,
Andy Laurent
Economic Development Specialist
