Met Council released the award list for the Livable Community Demonstration Act (LCDA) grant requests. The Strib has a brief mention of it:
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/893978.html LCDA grants involves money the city requests from Met Council for specific projects. From the Met Council's web site, the Minneapolis awardees with the amount awarded and the amount they requested were: Franklin-Portland Gateway: Requested $500,00/Awarded: $500,000. This is a big housing/commercial project for the four corners of Franklin and Portland in Phillips (and described briefly in the last issue of North Phillips Press). Interestingly, this was rated a "medium priority project" by the city. Franklin Avenue LRT: Requested $750,000/Awarded $288,750 to help develop vacant and underutilized railroad property around the Franklin LRT station. Hiawatha LRT: Requested $300,000/Awarded $247,500. Described in the Met Council release as "to help build Downtown East LRT station in a way that is pedestrian friendly and connected to adjacent development." Carriage Houses: Requested $600,000/Awarded $100,000. I assume this is the Ventura Village Carriage House Grant Program, which requested LCDA funds (though the location for the Carriage Houses is not mentioned in the LCDA announcement). Many Rivers Project: Requested: $400,000/Awarded $200,000. This is a 76 unit development on Franklin Avenue between 14th and 15th Avenue (again mentioned in the last issue of North Phillips Press) Near Northside Redevelopment: Requested $1.5 million/Awarded $1.5 million. I assume this is part of the Hollman redevelopment but correct me if I am wrong. It looks like the following projects, which were submitted by Minneapolis, were zero'd out: East Franklin Public Plaza: Requested $500,000 Bloomington Avenue-Lake Street development: Requested $500,000 East End Revival (not sure what this is): Requested $1 million Historic Mills District Parcel C Redevelopment: Requested $500,000 Lake and Nicollet Commons: Requested $1.5 million Village in Phillips (development at 24th and Bloomington): Requested $600,000 Congrats to those obtaining grants.
