# Redevelopment Authority Meeting - September 29, 2026

The City of Stevens Point Redevelopment Authority met on September 29, 2026. It approved a change to the Neighborhood Helping Neighborhood grant program to allow reimbursement of half the cost of a $500 home assessment when the assessment leads to structural improvements, and approved the Wisconsin DOT’s offer for temporary easements and a permanent acquisition of 60 square feet for the Highway 66/Centerpoint curb-ramp project. No payment amount for the land or easements was stated. The Authority also approved an amendment to its development agreement with Commonwealth Development Corporation, adjusting construction and acquisition timelines to accommodate WEDA housing tax-credit and EPA brownfield requirements; the agreement text was clarified to read $1,150,000. Members discussed the financing and project timeline, with one member voting against the amendment. The consent to assignment of collateral for the North Side Yard development agreement was postponed because staff lacked details.

The Authority received an update that conceptual design for the downtown bus transfer center was complete, with a presentation planned for the Transportation Commission. It also passed a motion to keep the downtown development loan program focused on buildings at least 15 years old; the transcript does not show a vote on the individual loan application. Public comment raised concerns about downtown incentives and called for affordable, accessible housing, including at the Shopko site. No other procurement award was identified.
