Description: Overview: The City is employing a dynamic and exciting process that will engage with developers to result in a rejuvenated downtown. A $5,000,000 Connecticut Urban Act grant is being dedicated to planning, design, engineering, utility infrastructure and site acquisition. A $200,000 CT DECD grant is being managed by the NVCOG to assess environmental conditions for parcels not already assessed. The area is a Planned Development District in support of desired mixed use. The site has access to the very popular greenway trail and is in easy walking distance to the regional bus and train station. The multiple parcels total 14.24 acres. Traffic Counts: The City of Derby project site is located at the junction of Route 34 and Route 8. The remarkable most recent traffic counts of 2012 show more than 22,000 on RT 34 at the site. RT 8 has more than 70,000 vehicles a day in 2013at the Exit 15 ramps. Route 34 is being widened starting next year. The intersections at Elizabeth Street and Factory Street are being improved. Economic success: The City has a number of vibrant commercial areas. These include the Route 34 corridor to New Haven with strong traffic counts and national retailers. The Pershing Drive area off Route 8 is thriving with grocery, dining and a mix of retailers. Across the street from the development district is a Home Depot. A popular brewery occupies a former brownfield site on Route 34, less than a mile from the proposed development site. List of City owned properties (see map on Page 1 for reference): CITY OF DERBY FINANCIAL COMMITMENT The City has made significant progress in laying the groundwork for future development. Over the last several years, the City has completed planning studies and secured the Urban Act grant. Working with the NVCOG, the City can access $200,000 for environmental assessment in the area. Two sites – 90 Main ST and 2 Factory ST - are planned for assessment at this time. The City is well-positioned to move its plans for economic development from the planning stage to implementation. In addition, several State and federal funding programs may be available to offset costs associated with pre-development, acquisition, environmental assessment, cleanup and construction. The City has a demonstrated record of federal and State funding support. The City will assist selected developers access outside funds that may be available.
