Title, Resolve
Appropriating up to $220,000 in Funds from the Downtown TIF for a Portion of State Street and Exchange
Street Heated Sidewalks
This resolve would appropriate up to $220,000 in funds from the Downtown TIF to pay for heat and
finish upgrades on sidewalks on Exchange and State Streets. Two years ago the City began design
of the French/State/Exchange Utility Project, which is funded through State Revolving Fund Loan
(SRF).
Although the funding source for French/State/Exchange Utility Project is State Revolving Fund Loan
(SRF), the installation of the heated sidewalk portion would not be eligible under SRF funding.
Therefore, if Council wishes to pursue finish upgrades and heated sidewalks for portions of
sidewalks, funding would be needed from an alternative source. The purpose of the downtown TIF
is to make infrastructure improvements in the downtown and sidewalk upgrades would qualify.
