Background and Analysis:
The CERC is responsible for implementation of the Investment Strategy Report. One of the recommended next steps in the report is to convene a development roundtable to discuss how to more effectively build predictability into the development of opportunity sites in order to build the confidence of investors and developers. The CERC sees this as an opportunity to continue to work towards creating a more proactive community development process in Olympia. The Investment Strategy Report is included as Attachment 2.
Holding a Development Roundtable was included in the CERC's 2014 Work Plan included as Attachment 3 and approved on February 11, 2014 and is consistent with the CERC's Charter included as Attachment 4.
On May 29, 2014 the CERC considered the first draft of the scope for a development roundtable. On July 21st and July 24th the Community and Economic Revitalization Committee (CERC) met to consider revisions to the scope for the Development Roundtable. The CERC anticipates inviting a variety of local and regional development interests as well as the Planning Commission and the rest of City Council to participate in this event.
