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.
