Conceptual Diagram

Capital Plan• The CRP contains an estimate and projection of

costs, including the amount to be expended on publicly funded capital improvements and any indebtedness

• The costs presented in the CRP are based on the Conceptual Diagram

• These costs will be refined as the County and CRA move forward with selecting a redevelopment partner, refining the development plan and associated implementation actions

Projected Costs• Identified as either primary public or private

responsibility

• Public costs relate to general framework, public areas and certain infrastructure that may be regionally beneficial however, costs may not be the total responsibility of the public sector

• Private costs are associated with the specific site or subdivision infrastructure which may be funded by a CDD or developer

Funding and Financing• Anticipates entering into an agreement with a

CDD and redevelopment partner

• The agreements governing the CDD and redevelopment partner will specify cost sharing requirements

• Cost of major capital improvements will be satisfied through leveraging such mechanisms as fees, fee related credits, TIF, special assessments by CDD and possibly a MSTU
