The primary actionable item is the recommendation to authorize $1,500,000 from the Town Center CRA Fund for the Mattie M. Kelly Connector Project (NC-5), including sidewalk (SW-10) and bike lane (BL-6) improvements. The project is a new 0.06 mile minor collector street connecting the existing ends of the northern and southern roadways of Mattie M.

The staff report recommends the CRA Board authorize the $1,500,000.

For the Harbor CRA, the document includes an informational update on workplans, a recommendation to support the proposed FY 2027 Budget, and a resolution (26-19) to establish a special revenue fund for fundraising.
