DESCRIBE HOW THE PROJECT MEETS THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT OF ENCOURAGING AND ASSISTING BUSINESS TO LOCATE AND EXPAND IN THE COUNTY The City of Southfield and the property owners in the immediate vacinity are aggressively seeking to repopulate the existing office space in the adjacent district north of the Northwestern Service Drive. The Galleria office complex is under new ownership and anticipates making a multi-million dollar investment upgrading the common areas and assisting with tenant improvements. They recently signed a new lease with Sandler Travis for 38,000 sf of office space. Additionally, there are current negotiations to try to secure another new tentant for 60,000 sf of space. The Star Theater entertainment complex is also anticipated to undergo significant renovations. This movie theater destination for south Oakland County helps support area restaurants as well as on-site restaurants beyond the standard lunch crowds. Credit Acceptance Corporation, just north of the service drive, continues to grow; their 5-story building is fully occupied. An improved road condition improves the aesthetics and drive experience for their numerous employees. The Meade-Lexus car dealership has been located along this service drive for nearly 20 years and has contacted the City about the poor road condition in recent years. An improved road condition will be well received by this luxury car dealership, The pledge by the County and City of improvements to the deteriorating service drive will help to improve the overall attractiveness of the commercial office and retail properties along the corridor. The commitment of improvements will improve landowner standing in lease negotiations and improve the overall attractiveness of the corridor for office tenants. OPTIONAL MULTI-YEAR PROJECT PLAN The Local Road Improvement Program has been expressly established as a pilot program. There is no guarantee the program will be continued from year to year. The Local Road Improvement Program Subcommittee recognizes that the allocation authorized for local governments may not provide adequate funding in a single year to allow a project to move forward. Local governments shall be offered the opportunity to submit project plans that would necessitate the accumulation of multiple years of the community's allocation amount to fulfill the County's share of a project budget. A multi-year prolect plan submittal shall not exceed three years in duration. The allocation amount available to each community is subject to change annually based upon the factors utilized in the distribution formula. Consideration of multi-year project plans does not obligate Oakland County in any way to fund any project or program in the future. These plans are meant to be utilized for planning purposes and for consideration by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to authorize a limited carryover of a community's allocation year to year. DESCRIPTION OF MULTI-YEAR PLAN INCLUDING ESTIMATED PROJECT BUDGET AND CARRYOVER PERIOD OF COMMUNITY'S ALLOCATION The $2,961,800 estimated cost of construction for this project far exceeds the required 50% local match for construction. The City proposes to utilize both the 2017, 2018 and 2019 LRIP funds to , substantially complete this project in 2017. 2016 LRIP funds were also allocated for this road for a pavement rehabilitation project. Upon field investigation it was found the pavement and subgrade conditions require total reconstruction. The additional funds enable the City to make this large investment in a location so important to the nearby businesses. / 1 01-1 04) Printed Name and Title Date dir.,4 7vie.eiee cre4(tr,4-At. e • zorn Ii i„...)
