Dear Mr. Kilbride:
Submitted herewith is the application for an "Early Land Acquisition Loan'.' for a
limited area witfiin the Auditorium Urban Renewal Project, Minn. R-53. It is re-
, quested that your office begin the preliminary processing of the Application a1- *
though, at present, it lacks the local governing body's approva? of resolutions.
; The Authority anticipates early approval of these resolu�ions, which will subse-
i quently be transmitted to your office within a month. .
; The need and desirability for the redevelopment of this area has long been a recog-
nized fac*, as attested to in the City's� "Comprehensive P1ar,", and the "Centrai
; Business District Develoo�ent Concept", both of which call for the .expansion and
� modernization of t�:e.C�vic Center Complex. Additionally, the success of the Down-
� town Capital Centre Project, �tinn. R-20, presently in exec��tion, is partially
dependent on this project in terms of increasing the desirability and marketabiii[y _
of its disposition parcels, as descra.bed in the Survey and Pianning Application
, for this project. �
, Project activities to be undertaken in this Early Land Acquisition Pro�ran include:
� the acquisition of thirty-two propzrties; the relocation of six families, thirty
individuals and thirty-tw� businesses; the denolition and clearance of .twency-seven
buildings; and vacation oF streets and assembly of land fo-r disposition. The number
of site occupants to be relocated is relatively small and the Autho:ity has identified
more than sufficienr resou:ces to accommodate this cas�load. All of the properties
ider_tified for acquisition ccmprise the selected site for the new Civic Center facili-
ties, pr000sed to he coristr=�cted as the first phase of uevelopment in the expansion
and ouodernization of the e:sistiag ccmpleY. The tempo:ary loan of $3,236,�32 reauested
� for undertaking t��ese early project activities will ultimately represent approximately
three-fifths of the Capitol Grant Reservation approved for this Project. The City's
. share of the net project cost, consisting of the creditable cost of the Civic Center
facilit=es to be coastructed on the property to be acquired, will exceed the necessary
one-third Iocal contribut�on. Costs for t:�e deve�.ogment of *_hese faciLities will be
approxiinately $13,000,000, to b� financed by the iss��ance of bonds by a non-profit
� corporatien, as authorize�l by tlie State Legislature. .
' The planning and desi�n o€ �he naw facilities, consisting of a multi-purpose arena
and public parking ramps, have been accomplished with a Com�unity Facilities �'�drinis-
tration, Plannina �dvanc�, oi aoprox i.-natelq $!�OO,OCO. Additionally, the pro�ress on

HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
Mr. Thomas Kilbride - 2 - October 18, 1968
these facilities to date represents a substantial voluntary contribution in ti.me
and involvement by local governmental officials and civic organizations. Currently
work has progressed so that construction may begin in Spring of 1969. This work,
plus project planning for this portion of the urban renewal area, has progressed
to a point where the accelerated development and visible improvement of the area
' is both practicable and desirable. Consequently the availability of the sites
is critical to establishing final cost estimates in the event additional money
fs required, and to begia construction as rapidly as possible, to continue the
forward momentum ef the community and to insure' its support for this and future
projects. � f
Therefore, the Authority urges your expeditious reviEw and approval of this �
• application.
Sincerely, ..
