2026 September 24 Redevelopment Commission

The City of Lafayette Redevelopment Commission held a meeting on September 24, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects. Key procurement actions included the acceptance of a $68,877 bid from Hittle Hut Construction for the Public Safety Center amenity deck and approval to advertise for build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects for downtown streetscape improvements and the Hope Lane improvement project. The commission approved a significant $1,044,924.97 decrease change order for the Park East Boulevard project and certified its substantial completion. Additionally, contracts were approved for the Cat Park Soccer turf installation project, including project management and design services, with budgets not to exceed $146,000 each. A $5,500 change order was approved for asbestos removal at the Lafayette Theater. The commission also passed resolutions to establish a new Caterpillar Project Allocation Area within the Consolidated Creasy Central Economic Development Area to capture personal property tax increment and extend the timeline for incentives to the company Sustainia. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to manage redevelopment projects, optimize procurement strategies, and support economic development through tax increment financing mechanisms.
