Item 4. Downtown Dover Partnership Main Street Dover 101 W. Loockerman Street, Ste 2B Dover, DE 19904 (302)678-2940 September 5, 2024 Mr. David S. Hugg, Ill, City Manager 15 Loockerman Plaza Dover, DE 19901 Dear Mr. Hugg: The City and the Downtown Dover Partnership (DDP) continue to work hand in hand toward expeditious implementation of the Capital City 2030: Transforming Downtown Dover! master plan. The plan prioritizes various sites for redevelopment, with a high priority on developing a centralized parking facility in the heart of downtown between S. Bradford St . and S. Governors Ave (bordering on Minor St.), where a public surface parking lot now exists. In concert with Mosaic Development Partners, Colonial Parking, Inc., and EDiS construction company, the DDP is prepared to redevelop the site into a full-scale mobility center to address parking needs in the central business district, particularly in anticipation of new residents in nearby mixed-use redevelopment and increasing needs of downtown patrons that will drive sales and activity on an enhanced Loockerman Street corridor (for which concept plans have been completed by Dover Kent MPO.) A majority of funding is in place for the mobility center. Targeted completion of the project is Dec. 2026. The proposed redevelopment of the site for public parking requires consolidation of parcels that are now a combination of city-owned and DDP-owned, and include two site now under contract by DDP (148 & 150 S. Bradford St.) In order to move forward with the redevelopment of the site into a mobility center, DDP must acquire the following city-owned parcels: Address Parcel ID S. Governor’s Avenue ED05-077.09-02-12.00 I- 145 S Governor's Avenue ED05-077.09-02-08. 00 124 S Bradford Street ED05-077.09-02-21.00 128 S Bradford Street ED05-077.09-02-22.00 132 S Bradford Street ED05-077.09-02-23.00 136 S Bradford Street ED05-077.09-02-24.00 Therefore, the Downtown Dover Partnership, a non-profit 501(c)(6), seeks acquisition of the above City-owned parcels. Please note: The new DDP 501(c)(3) entity “Capital City Transformation Alliance, Inc.” would be recipient of property titles. In addition, there exists a “paper alley” in the center of the parcels that DDP will also need to acquire to complete the plan. We appreciate the City’s thoughtful consideration to support the DDP’s efforts in response to the above request to allow us to complete the parking project, a project which stands to benefit all downtown stakeholders in the Capital City, and further will provide an essential amenity to support many projects outlined in the master plan that rely on availability of parking options.
