Summary:
This bill authorizes an Economic Development Agreement with Regions Bank (Developer) for
Renovation Improvements to the old Bisbee building located at 51 West Bay Street and Transition
Improvements resulting from the sale of the Developer’s adjacent surface parking lot parcel located at
54 West Forsyth Street.
The Development Agreement authorizes a $900,000 Downtown Preservation and Revitalization
Program (DPRP) forgivable loan for the renovation of the building, to be appropriated by future
legislation. The bill also authorizes and appropriates a $200,000 Downtown Economic Development
(DED) grant for the Transition Improvements, paid from the Downtown Economic Development Fund.
DPRP Forgivable Loan:
• The Developer may submit up to five requests for funding over a five year period, not to exceed
$900,00 in total
• Each loan request must be submitted and approved by the DIA Board prior to the 5th anniversary of
the effective date of the agreement
• The minimum capital investment is $1,200,000 in order to qualify for the loan (inclusive of the tax
assessed value of the project parcel)
• The Developer must incur a minimum of $2,633,000 in Total Development Costs to be eligible for the
maximum loan amount
• The improvements for each phase must be substantially completed within 365 days after the
applicable phase permits are issued
• All funds will be disbursed upon completion of improvements subject to cost verification and other
approvals as specified in the DPRP Guidelines
• Loans are subject to the limitations set forth in the DPRP Guidelines
• Loans will be forgiven 20% annually over a five year term
DED Grant:

customers and employees during construction of the parking garage, and a new HVAC system)
• The amount of the HVAC expenses are capped at the amount of the non-HVAC expenses
• Signage improvements must be substantially completed by the earlier of May 30, 2022 or 180 days
after the commencement of construction of the signage improvements
• Any portion of the DED Grant not disbursed on or before the 2nd anniversary of the effective date

Extensions longer than 3 months require DIA Board approval, but not City Council approval.
Waives the following requirements of the DPRP Guidelines:
• Waives the requirement that City Council approve the project in order to allow the DIA Board to
approve the individual phases of the project
• Waives the requirement that the loan be secured by a subordinate-lien position on the real property
ROI:
