APRIL 12, 2018 18-06 RESOLUTION
(CARRIED LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN )
PURPOSE: APPROVE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR 43 E. 7TH AVENUE
BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh that
the Authority hereby authorizes the appropriate City of Oshkosh staff to solicit requests
for proposals for redevelopment of 43 E. Th Avenue within the South Shore
Redevelopment Area in accordance with the Request for Proposals document on file in
the office of the City of Oshkosh Department of Community Development.
TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: April 6, 2018
SUBJECT: Approve Request for Proposal 43 E. 7h Avenue
Background
The City Council and staff have received multiple inquiries regarding the property.
Staff was directed to prepare a Request for Proposals for the property for release. A
draft has been shared with the RDA for review and comment.
Analysis
The current tenant, Advanced Military Packaging, can be removed with a 180 day
notice. While there is potential for redevelopment, the status of Pioneer Drive and
Pioneer Island would have a significant impact on the development alternatives
available for the parcel. The City's Central City Investment Strategy identified a
number of office, multi-family and other mixed uses as appropriate for the reuse of the
property.
The RDA would not be required to accept any proposal received.
Fiscal Impact
The sale of the property could create revenue for the RDA/TIF #20.
Recommendation
The RDA releases the Request for Proposal for 43 E. Th Avenue.
