MEMORANDUM
TO: CRA Board Members
FROM: Carolina Vaca, CRA Administrator
DATE: September 15, 2026
RE: 1550 Maguire Road Grant Extension
Background
On September 16, 2025, the CRA entered into a grant agreement with Joecoee
Capital, LLC, for an amount not to exceed $222,500. 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
