FORMER SAM'S CLUB SITE REDEVELOPMENT The City and the Louisville Revitalization Com- mission released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for interested parties to submit proposals for the re- development of the former Sam's Club at 550 South McCaslin Boulevard. The RFP encourages proposals that meet the current commercial zoning for the prop- erty and advance the commercial and retail vitality in the Centennial Valley area. Proposals are due March 10, 2016. The Revitalization Commission will review the proposals in April and provide a recommendation to the City Council if members find any of the projects are worthy to pursue. While the property is privately held, the City is com- pleting this process in the hope of encouraging a devel- oper to invest in and redevelop the site. Additional information regarding the RFP may be found on the City's web site under Economic Develop- ment. Questions should be directed to Aaron DeJong, 303.335.4531 or AaronD @LouisvilleCO.gov. POSSIBLE RECREATION EXPANSION Continued from page 1 choices to address those issues; then we will need the community's feedback on potential designs to make sure we're on the right track." Once the survey is closed, the consulting firm of Sink Combs Dethlefs will take the results, combined with the feedback captured from the December Open Houses and prepare several conceptual drawings and cost esti- mates for public comment and discussion. The City will host public meetings to review several drafts incorporat- ing a range of choices and solicit additional feedback. The Open House events will be held in early Spring. Upon completion of the input, design, and the review process, the Task Force, alongside the contracted firm, will complete the assessment and make recommenda- tions to City Council. If an expansion and /or new facilities are warranted, the City Council will consider all costs and practical financing options, including a move towards a possible bond election in November 2016.
