Top issues during term (20)(Development)
Downtown Hotel and Parking Improvements
Up to $350,000 advanced for the kiosk contract; broken meters mean the city is currently leaving revenue on the table.
Boutique hotel denied in residential transition zone
The 8,000-square-foot historic building is deteriorating; supporters say the hotel is the best shot at preserving it, while opponents fear property-value impacts.
Flats at Boulder Park Development Plan
New commercial projects are bringing hundreds of jobs and millions in payroll, plus a TIF district and a $1.52 million road grant.
Curtis Street industrial development incentives (Guild)
Could bring jobs and investment to the Southwest Focus Area; no cost figures stated.
Four Seasons at Addison Farms expansion
Property values and local tax revenues could shift as hundreds of new homes go up in a high-demand growth zone.
Possible Paraguay sister city renewal
Houk Road/Greenlawn Drive PUD amendment
Property values and local business revenue might see a boost, but your tax dollars could end up stretched thin trying to keep up with all the new roads and infrastructure.
Performance Impact Arena plan modification
It injects new sports and recreation infrastructure into the community, likely boosting local business around the facility.
Residential growth in Boulder Farms and Terra Alta
Sewer capacity limits development to 319 units until utilities expand; infrastructure costs shared via development agreements.
Senior care facility near Houk Road
About $30 million in investment and 50-plus permanent jobs.
Ex Flax east side redevelopment (up to 66 units)
Developer will pay for street improvements and contribute to the Lake Street/Central Avenue intersection project — amount not yet set.
Chick-fil-A emergency access and traffic concerns
Coglands Crossing multifamily rezone
No direct cost to the city, but 450 apartments would grow the housing supply and future tax base.
East-side retail growth on Sunbury Road
New commercial development will expand the city's tax base.
Franklin Street parking lot appearance and security
Estimated $25,000-$50,000, targeted for the 2027 budget.
McNett Meadows townhome development (210 units)
The city limits its plowing and maintenance costs by keeping most roads private, but still provides city refuse service to all units.
New Wendy's restaurant at Glennwood Commons
Reactivating upper floors of downtown historic buildings
Hartman said stairs and windows alone are running $200,000–$250,000 on his building — a labor of love, not a money-maker.
Rear-facade and alley beautification downtown
Delaware County Shared Services Administration building
