Mayor and Council,

 

I am pleased to inform you we received notification from the North Central Texas Council of Governments that the City has been awarded $120,000 for the preparation of a redevelopment plan for the area surrounding the Forest Jupiter DART station. Our application was ranked 2nd of the 28 projects submitted by various municipalities and agencies in the region and is one of only nine to be funded.

 

This project will result in a detailed implementation strategy for the redevelopment of this area, which is one of the Catalyst Areas identified in the draft Economic Development Strategy, and will be an integral part of our Citywide efforts.

 

I want to thank the Council for your continued support as we move forward with our long range planning and redevelopment plans. Without this, from both a policy standpoint as well as through budget support, these efforts would not be possible.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

 

            Neil
