C. Community Reinvestment Agency Business - the CRA Board of Directors will
receive information and/or hold discussions and/or take action on:
1. Resolution: NWQ, LLC Tax Increment Reimbursement Request ~ 2:05 p.m.
30 min.
The Board will receive a briefing and consider adopting a resolution authorizing a
property tax increment reimbursement of up to $1,544,202 to NWQ, LLC for its Phase IV
of development for improvements in the Northwest Quadrant Community Reinvestment
Area. If approved, the developer will receive a percentage of the tax increment generated
from Phase IV of its development for a specified timeframe, and the CRA will receive the
residual tax increment for other project area development activities, CRA
Administration, and affordable housing. The developer may only receive a
reimbursement after the improvements are made and the property generates sufficient
tax increment, with reimbursements subject to verification of the actual costs incurred by
the developer.
2. Resolution: USA Climbing at Rio Grande District – Salt Lake
~ 2:35 p.m.
Mattress Company Building
20 min.
The Board will receive a briefing and consider adopting a resolution approving
modifications to the term sheet for the USA Climbing project, which includes the Salt
Lake Mattress Company building. While the Board previously approved terms for the
disposition of CRA-owned property for USA Climbing’s headquarters and national
training center, further evaluation found the Mattress Company building would
require additional structural reinforcement, increasing project costs to $7.3 million.
USA Climbing cannot absorb costs beyond the $6 million provided by the CRA. As
an alternative, USA Climbing proposed reconstructing the building using concrete
masonry block clad with the historic brick, which would require an additional
$250,000. The Board will discuss the adaptive reuse and reconstruction options.
3. Informational: Update on the Tenant Wealth Building Partnership ~ 2:55
with the Perpetual Housing Fund p.m.
30 min.
The Board will receive a briefing about the Tenant Wealth Building Partnership with the
Perpetual Housing Fund of Utah. In August 2023, the Board approved a resolution and
term sheet to provide $10,000,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds to the Perpetual
Housing Fund for a tenant wealth building initiative. The first development project using
these funds includes several floors of a larger building at approximately 515 East 100
South. These affordable units target households earning 25% to 50% of the area median
income.
4. Straw Poll: Transferring CRA Funds to Jefferson Park ~ 3:25 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will receive a briefing and consider a straw poll on whether to transfer
$150,000 from the CRA’s State Street project area to the Department of Public Lands to
fund enhancements to Jefferson Park at approximately 1100 South and West Temple.
These funds would support elements such as a wet meadow, lighting, seating and signage
