City Land Sought For Development

Four of the five items on the agenda for a special meeting Tuesday are re-runs from the Nov. 12 meeting. The last one is new. For some background on the proposed ordinance "authorizing conveyance of Block 247, Lots 7 and 9, to the Housing Authority, subject to conditions," see Plaintalker's post here.

Because the meeting is on Tuesday, the ordinance may not be available for review by bloggers and other nosy types until Monday. Some of the questions in mind are whether the city will receive compensation for the land and the relationships of the various entities involved in the proposed development. 

For example, the development arm of the Housing Authority of Plainfield is the Plainfield Community Development Corporation.

Another part of the project team is West Second Street Associates LLC.  Which of these entities will deal with the land use boards, if the governing body turns over the city-owned property?

Those who want to follow the action will have to educate themselves on these nuances. For a comprehensive report on CDCs and factors for optimum functioning, click here.
