Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />February 12, 2025 <br />Page 2of6 <br />name of the committee once it's finalized next week. Commissioner Lipton asked to change <br />Advisory Committee to lower case because it hasn't been formally named yet. <br />Commissioner Lipton made a motion to approve revised minutes with the addition of the last <br />name of Crystal Springs Brewery business owner Tom Horst and changing the minutes <br />regarding the Vision Plan to reference the steering committee as an "advisory committee." <br />Councilmember Dickinson seconded the motion. Motion passed. <br />Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda: <br />Erik Hartronft who is involved with renovation of the grain elevator commented that he has been <br />looking for a way to revitalize the mill. He noted that there is an investment group and a lot of <br />momentum with the project right now. The PUD recorded in 2015 has not been renewed. They <br />will be amending it to focus on the center piece for a new business that will go into the mill, <br />noting that the other properties won't be improved at this time. He also commented that it is a <br />very expensive project and the infrastructure doesn't exist, noting that there are drainage issues <br />and electricity will need to be brought on site. In the process of investigating the viability of the <br />project, a go/no-go decision may be forthcoming. They will talk to the Historic Preservation <br />Commission, though that won't solve the infrastructure issues. He commented that they would <br />like to see parking as a public parking project and improve other areas of the property. <br />Ross Bowdey who represents the ownership group for the project, named Louisville's Living <br />Room, commented that the goal is to give it back to the community as a community center in <br />celebration of the historic landmark. <br />Commissioner Comments on Items not on the agenda: None. <br />Business Matters of Commission: <br />Approval of 2025 Meeting Dates <br />The Economic Vitality (EV) Manager provided the Commission with the revised 2025 meeting <br />dates and asked the Commission to approve the new dates.
