HEDRA July 9, 2026

The Hastings Community TV meeting on July 9, 2026, focused on several procurement and property-related matters. The commission approved bills including a facade improvement grant for 221 Sibley Street and expenses related to Block 28 properties. A facade improvement grant resolution for 2014-2020 Ramsey Street was approved, providing up to $5,000 for masonry repairs and tuck pointing with total eligible costs over $34,000. The commission held a public hearing and approved a resolution to sell a 1.16-acre property at 2951 Lightborne Court for $91,022, reflecting a price adjustment due to necessary soil remediation costs. Updates were provided on various development projects including an indoor cannabis cultivation facility, a 400-unit housing development at Pleasant Valley Farms, and a 32-unit apartment project called Sweet Living. The meeting also included discussion of community engagement efforts for the Depot parking lot and ongoing environmental assessments for Block 28. No new contracts were awarded, but the property sale and grant approvals represent key procurement actions.
