Delaware County Redevelopment Commission Meeting July 9th, 2026

The Delaware County Redevelopment Commission held a meeting on July 9, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related matters. Key discussions included approval of the Economic Development Alliance's 2026 services contract funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIFF) districts, with a motion passed to continue monthly invoicing. The commission also considered a request from Yorktown Community Schools for a 10-year funding commitment to support safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency projects, but ultimately voted to deny the request as presented, favoring project-specific funding instead. The Innovation Connector received approval for an additional $50,000 in funding from multiple TIFF districts to support entrepreneurial development and operational costs. The commission approved a $620,939 road paving project funded by several TIFF districts and addressed payment of a $300,000 interlocal agreement from the Morrison TIFF. Additionally, the commission discussed property management and sale procedures for county-owned parcels, including initiating a sealed bid process for an 8.33-acre property. A $43,200 engineering design contract for a water line repair impacting a county project was approved with conditions on funding the subsequent fix. The meeting also included approval of a memorandum of understanding with Isaiah 117 House and a $5,000 grant to America's Hometown Band for a concert. Finally, the commission addressed cybersecurity training and email account management for members. Multiple motions related to contract approvals, funding allocations, and procurement processes were passed during the meeting.
