Why Redevelopment?

Who Helped Get It Started?
____________________________________

On May 4, 1998, the Martin Town Council appointed the Martin Redevelopment Task Force. This local redevelopment task force was made up of eight members of the community who would assist with creating a vision for their community. The task force helped identify and select a new site for the relocation of Martin’s public facilities and develop the Martin Redevelopment Plan.

The task force met several times in 1998 and 1999:

July 21, 1998

Task Force meets to review the methodology for studying the feasibility of redevelopment, including the methodology for identifying and evaluating potential redevelopment sites.
October 15, 1998 Task Force meets with the USACE and its planning and design consultant, Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc. (PB), to review preliminary site evaluation findings. The Curve/Ice Plant Road site is identified as the preferred redevelopment site.
April 13, 1999 Task Force meets to review final redevelopment programming estimates and designs for the commercial, public, semi-public and institutional facilities. Following discussion of the cost, funding and project schedule, the task force approves the Martin Redevelopment Plan.
July 14, 1999 Open meeting is held at the Martin Town Hall to allow the USACE, the Task Force and PB to discuss the plan and answer questions.

The Martin Redevelopment Task Force included the following Martin residents:

Rick Caudill
