The development previously was approved for a $4.5 million loan through the FY 2023-24 RDA Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP) competitive Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Project. If approved, the $1.6 million loan will fund the construction of 3,000 additional square feet of retail space and tenant improvements for a public commercial daycare totaling nearly 8,000 square feet. The expanded daycare would have the capacity to serve up to 160 children.

A portion of the district overlaps with the North Temple Urban Renewal Project Area and the legislation requires the City to remove the overlapping properties from the North Temple Project Area before 2025. The amended boundaries spread across four non-contiguous areas would be approximately half the size of the original project area acreage. The boundary amendment will also require separate approval by the City Council.
