Attica’s Redevelopment Commission confirmed authorization to start phase one of a development proposal for a city-owned parcel near Cable Lane and Golf Ridge, and consultants said they would immediately begin assembling due-diligence materials and yield plans to support an RFP to attract builders.
Brian Stump of HWC said phase one focuses on site packaging: title work, surveys, geotechnical testing and simple yield plans so developers see a "shovel-ready" opportunity. "You want to make sure you've got clear title to the property...do an ALTA survey, get the title work done," Stump said, listing tasks HWC typically includes in the first phase.
Decision and next steps: Members said the RDC had already agreed to proceed with phase one; a contract for the work will be prepared so the commission can sign a notice to proceed. Participants sought contact information for nearby landowner and developer Mark Little to discuss dedicating right-of-way access that would avoid routing traffic through existing neighborhoods.
Site access and developer coordination: Officials and consultants discussed routing new streets behind existing subdivisions and the possibility of Mark Little widening an easement to provide a practical access corridor. The group noted resident support for smaller infill housing types (patio condos) and emphasized minimizing traffic through Gulf Ridge.
Why it matters: Packaging the city-owned parcel with title, surveys and yield plans increases the chance of competitive developer responses and reduces surprises during construction, officials said. HWC cited recent local examples where similar packaging led to quick developer interest.
Administrative notes: The redevelopment commission requested the consultant deliver contract documents and due-diligence cost estimates in time for the commission’s March 9 meeting; members also discussed funding the work from RDC or food-and-beverage economic development revenues. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn; no roll-call vote on adjournment was recorded in the transcript.
