Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance transfers funds within the General Fund and authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with Goody Clancy to prepare the East Franklinton Creative Community District Plan. The consultant was recommended to the Director of Development by review committee representing the Economic Development, Housing and Planning divisions of the Development Department, Franklinton Development Association, Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority and Urban Smart Growth, a developer.

Mayor Michael B. Coleman announced the Creative Community Initiative for East Franklinton at the 2011 State of the City address. This planning process will produce a plan to guide revitalization of East Franklinton as a place for the creative class to live and maintain their businesses. It builds upon city initiatives that are already underway or that have been completed in the neighborhood. It is also intended to harness current proposed projects, as well as future investments.

Emergency action is requested to immediately begin the East Franklinton planning process.

FISCAL IMPACT: $250,000 for this contract will be transferred within the General Fund and $10,000 will be provided to the Development Department to assist with funding this project by Urban Smart Growth.
