Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 442-20 authorized the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $100,000 from the General Fund to the Lucas County Land Bank for critical assessments necessary for the redevelopment of the Spitzer and Nicholas buildings.
The Lucas County Land Bank acquired the Spitzer and Nicholas buildings in 2020 and has been working with the City, ConnecToledo and Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority to stabilize the structures and return them back to productive use. Redevelopment of these buildings requires critical assessments to identify their structural integrity, overall condition, marketability and feasibility for converting into new uses.
A final report for the Lucas County Land Bank’s use of this funding is included in attached Exhibit A. This ordinance authorizes the acceptance, deposit and appropriation of an amount not to exceed $33,000 of unspent grant proceeds.
