MAYOR LEE BRAND February 15, 2018 Fresno Council of Governmens Krisine Cai 205 Tulare Sree, Suie 201 Fresno, CA 9721 Re: Blacksone and McKinley Transi Oriened Developmen BMTOD) Dear Krisine, The Ciy of Fresno coninues o focus on economic prosperiy as he driving force o provide opporuniies across all geographies and communiies wihin he Ciy. A key measure of his focus is qualiy of life for our Ciy s residens, which can be improved upon hrough affordable housing opporuniies, commercial developmen and acive ransporaion projecs such as he Blacksone and McKinley Transi Oriened Developmen BMTOD). Locaed along he Blacksone Avenue Bus Rapid Transi Corridor, which will connec Norh and Cenral Fresno o he Downown High-Speed Rail Saion, his projec is in a Census Trac wih a Disadvanaged Communiies score of 97.41, making i one of he mos burdened and vulnerable neighborhoods in he Sae. The BMTOD will serve as a Caalys Developmen, as i will be he firs o fulfill he goals of Fresno s General Plan by redeveloping an underuilized, unaracive infill sie ino a robus mixed-use, sae of he ar developmen. Addiionally, he developmen is locaed adjacen o Fresno Ciy College, he larges junior college in he sae wih over 25,000 sudens. Immediae access o high qualiy ransi combined wih sae-of-he-ar housing will allow he BMTOD residens a place o live, a place o work and a place o aain educaion o beer heir lives. The Ciy of Fresno has been working closely wih he developers of he BMTOD for hree years and has invesed subsanial local resources including Successor Agency and General Fund monies o help make his applicaion for AHSC funding successful. In urn, he developers have reached ou o he communiy o assess he addiional needs of he neighborhood beyond affordable housing and acive ransporaion infrasrucure. Wha hey learned is ha his area lacks a dedicaed space for a senior cener and a dire need for a new medical clinic serving low income residens. The BMTOD has agreed o dedicae 2,000 square fee of commercial space o he Ciy of Fresno o uilize as a communiy senior cener free of charge for 15 years. In addiion, hey were able o form a sraegic parnership wih Clinica Sierra Visa, one of he larges comprehensive migran and communiy healh cener sysems in he naion, o offer a new 4,000 square foo medical and denal clinic. The BMTOD can ac as a caalys projec and serve as he embodimen of wha smar growh wih public and privae collaboraion can accomplish. We need projecs like his o achieve susainable air qualiy benefis and o help alleviae poor living condiions in he Ciy of Fresno. I respecfully reques your suppor for his projec o help us build a beer fuure for our Ciy.
