OJHKOIH ON THE WATER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Allen Davis Community Development Director DATE: September 19, 2012 RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation at 667 Bowen Street to Assist NeighborWorks Oshkosh with Acquisition BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS NeighborWorks Oshkosh would like to purchase 667 Bowen Street as part of their program to improve neighborhoods. NeighborWorks was allocated CDBG dollars from the City that will be used to acquire this property. However, 667 Bowen Street is not within a redevelopment area, and in order for NeighborWorks to acquire the property, the Redevelopment Authority(RDA)must spot blight the property and the local legislative body must concur with the RDA's designation. NeighborWorks plans to purchase the two-family structure, rehab it and convert it back to a single family home. The property will then be sold to a qualified homebuyer. FISCAL IMPACT None anticipated as NeighborWorks will acquire the property and rehab it, which will increase the tax base. RECOMMENDATION The Redevelopment Authority unanimously approved of the spot blight designation at its September 19, 2012 meeting. Staff asks that Council concur with the RDA's spot blight designation to permit NeighborWorks to acquire the property.
