Revitalization Plan for the 40th Street Shopping Center
On March 16, 1993 and April 19, 1993, Agency representatives conducted meetings with the
property owners of the 40th street Shopping Center (generally located on the southwest corner
of 40th Street and Waterman Avenue). At these meetings, a Revitalization Plan was
presented to the property owners, and accepted by those in attendance. The purpose of the
plan was to significantly upgrade and renovate the 40th Street Shopping Center. Specifically,
some of the proposed activities included: landscaping improvements, facade improvements,
uniformed signage, parking lot reconfiguration, and new lighting. The anticipated cost of
preparing the revitalization plan is approximately $45,000.
Staff felt it was appropriate for the Agency to fund one-half (1/2) of the costs associated with
the development of a Revitalization Plan which is $22,500. The remaining $22,500 was to be
divided among all property owners according to the size of their acreage. Furthermore,
Commission approval was subject to the one-hundred percent (100%) participation of all
property owners. Prior to obtaining Commission approval to proceed with the Revitalization
Plan process, staff obtained conceptual approval from the property owners, as well as their
commitment for financial support.
Since obtaining Commission approval, staff has sent several letters to the property owners
requesting their pro-rata share of the Revitalization Plan costs on April 12, 1993, April 23,
1993, April 28, 1993, June 16, 1993, and August 24, 1993. Staff has also made numerous
telephone calls to the property owners requesting their involvement in this project. Of the
eight property owners involved in the project, only one, Mr. Richard Filanc (owner of the
property which includes the TG & Y Store), has submitted the requested pro-rata share of the
Revitalization Plan costs. The remaining property owners have either expressed an inability
to financially commit due to the current economic climate, or have changed their original
position and are not interested at this time.
On November 9, 1993, Agency representatives, the Mayor and Councilmembers Miller and
Devlin met with several of the 40th Street Shopping Center property owners to discuss the
feasibility of continuing with the efforts of developing a revitalization plan. Those in
attendance agreed that the importance and significance of the shopping center in the North
End community warranted immediate action in order to proceed with the revitalization plan.
As such, it is recommended that the Agency fund the entire cost of the $45,000 associated
with the development of the revitalization plan. The funding of the revitalization plan is
required in order to immediately address the concerns of the declining shopping center and
reverse a deteriorating situation.

Revitalization Plan for the 40th Street Shopping Center
November 9, 1993

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of this date, the consultant, C & B Enterprises, has not executed or returned the approved
professional services agreement. The agreement was sent by certified mail on August 24,
1993 and received September 3, 1993 (according to certified mail receipt record). Staff has
also made several attempts to contact C & B Enterprises via telephone to no avail.
Consequently, it is prudent to reserve the right to seek out other qualified consultants to
prepare the revitalization plan, in the event that C & B Enterprises does not execute the
agreement in a timely manner (within five (5) working days of Commission approval). This
i is necessary in the interest of proceeding with the project in a timely fashion, which is of the
utmost concern to the property owners and for the future of the shopping center.
Mutual benefit resolutions authorizing the use of State College funds to pay for the
revitalization plan will be necessary and is submitted for Commission consideration. The
expenditure of State College funds is appropriate to access necessary implementation funds
and because the revitalization of the shopping center will benefit the entire North End
community.
Staff recommends adoption of the form motion and the attached resolutions.
