The grant supports the demolition of the former bank building and eligible design improvements for the proposed redevelopment project at 1550 Maguire Road. Under Section 2 of the agreement, the CRA's obligation to fund the grant terminates on September 30, 2026, unless the parties agree in writing to a later date. The project is still undergoing the City's development review process. The grantee has requested an extension to allow additional time to complete that process and construction. Funds for the grant are included in the CRA's proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget, allowing the funding period to be extended through September 30, 2027. Recommendation Staff has prepared the attached First Amendment to Grant Agreement to extend the Funding Termination Date from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The maximum grant amount remains $222,500, and all other terms remain unchanged. The CRA's legal counsel has reviewed the amendment.
