2026/6/8 - Urban Renewal Agency Meeting

The City of Caldwell Urban Renewal Agency held a meeting on June 8, 2026, focusing on updates and approvals related to urban renewal projects and economic development initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval and publication of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for development of the Sixth Street Plaza and adjacent properties, with the agency planning to transfer ownership of the plaza to itself prior to closing. The agency also reviewed and approved invoices totaling approximately $97,145, including a $56,000 payment for a downtown wayfinding project, which was noted as the final payment for that project. Additionally, the agency discussed the potential consolidation of redevelopment areas to better manage increment funds and addressed ongoing negotiations regarding a parking agreement involving triple net lease expenses. The meeting included a recommendation to deny a request from the Middleton Rural Fire District to be excluded from the urban renewal district increment, with a motion passed to send a formal denial letter. Economic development reports highlighted demographic and commercial activity data to guide future business recruitment efforts. No new contract awards were announced, but several capital improvement projects and budget items were reviewed with plans for future council approvals.
