The criteria points which define the distressed classification for the Westpark Housing Development are: · Is a significant contributing factor to the physical decline of and disinvestment by public and private entities in the surrounding neighborhood, where the location of the housing development is isolated from adjacent communities by a freeway, industrial area and a retail area thus creating a secluded community without avenues to provide access to blend in a larger thriving community environment. · Is occupied predominantly by families who are very low-income families, with children, are unemployed and dependent on various forms of public assistance; or · Has high rates of vandalism and criminal activity (including drug-related criminal activity) in comparison to other housing in the area. · Serious deficiencies in the original building design, where the unit bedroom quantities are outdated which do not meet the current needs of the community. 1 Exhibit C-1 Anderson Cove Blight Area ,.~co..,,, I1 Exhibit D Downtown Project Area 7th St. 6th St. 5th St, 4th St. Burwell Street I inch equals 300 feet Exhibit E Westpark Project Area \ DOWNTOWN PROJECT AREA FINANCE PROGRAM The following is a proposal for financing projects within the Community Revitalization project area. The finance plan to implement the redevelopment of the project area includes: · Encouraging residential growth in the project area · Expanding the downtown public and private sector workforce · Stimulation of earnings and investment The strategy will combine the use of appropriate municipal bond financing and public/private investment partnerships for financing new development and upgrading existing infrastructure. For example: · Increase and improve downtown parks open spaces and plazas · Improve downtown traffic cimulation · Create pedestrian friendly areas · Continue to improve transit opportunities A goal of the strategy is to effect positive changes in the municipal tax base by assisting existing property owners and businesses with the addition of new construction and value. The City of Bremerton will actively seek public and private funding to be used to mitigate private development risks within the Community Revitalization area. Public funding shall include but not be limited to the New Market Tax Credits, The Low Income Housing Tax Credits, taxable and tax exempt municipal Bonds. U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development Economic Development Initiative grants, U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Sec 108 loans, HUD Community Development Block Grant funds and HUD Home Investment Partnership loans and grants. The plan will provide for the sale of condominiums to public or private purchasers in the project area to encourage economic growth in the blight area. Inviting joint development opportunities where feasible will encourage private sector investment. The Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Agency, acting as redevelopment agency for the City of Bremerton shall use its bonding finance authority to purchase and develop property that meets the goals of the plan and to sell developed properties to the private sector whenever feasible. The City will establish the Community Revitalization area development as a top priority for the application of all grant funds and will actively solicit and encourage private investment in the project area. The strategy also includes ongoing economic and demographic analysis of the revitalization project and future growth initiatives necessary and appropriate to assist in the administration and implementation of the project. 1 Exhibit G DOWNTOWN PROJECT AREA RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT PLAN Introduction Thc City of Brcmcrton does not anticipate displacement of residents in the revitalization area. In the event such displacement does occur, all available resources will be used to mitigate its adverse effects. Pl~tn to Minimize Displacement The City of Brcmerton will emphasize projects which: · Do not demolish buildings housing low income residents · Require no relocation or only temporary relocation · Use properties voluntarily sold, not as result of the project Plan to Assist Displaced Residents For projects where displacement is unavoidable, the City of Brcmerton will follow all pertinent Federal and State of Washington laws, rules, and guidelines governing relocation of displaced persons. In addition, thc programs, services and funding sources of the Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority, the Bremerton Housing Authority and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission shall be requested to assist any resident displaced as a result of the project. These programs are expected to include down payment assistance, rent subsidies, (HUD Sec 8) self-help housing construction and placement in subsidized housing projects currently in operation or planned for construction in the near future. Exhibit H WESTPARK PROJECT AREA FINANCE PLAN Financing methods for completing the Westpark redevelopment plan include a combination of equity, private investment, HUD hope VI funds and investment incentives authorized under the U.S. Treasury New Market Tax Credit program. The project will develop equity sources realized from the development of 25 acres of commemial land. These funds will be used with tax-exempt bond sources and HUD section 8-rental subsidy sources as well as other Federal Housing financing sources to provide new housing construction on the remaining lands. The Bremerton Housing Authority and The Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority are currently making application for New Market Tax Credits to facilitate subsidized loans totaling approximately $40,000,000. These loans will be used to entice future tenants for a retail center that will serve the local low-income community. Conventional investment will be encouraged. 1 4;.

Letters of interest from local and national investors in the amount of over $118 million indicate strong support for this program. "If we're successful, it could mean up to $300 million in private investment flowing into Bremerton businesses and redevelopment projects," said KCCHA Board Chair Darlene Kordonowy, who also serves as the mayor of the city of Bainbridge Island. "And by the response we've gotten already from local and national investors, it's clear that there's a lot of interest both in this program and in what's happening in Bremerton." KCCHA is competing for New Market Tax Credits under a federal program established in 2000 by the US Treasury Department. If the agency wins the tax credits, it would pass them on to private organizations and individuals who agree to loan money at special Iow rates to businesses in the Bremerton renewal area. "It's a win-win situation - investors get a 39% tax credit over seven years, and businesses in Westpark and downtown Bremerton would get loans at below market rates," Bremerton Mayor Cary Bozeman explained. "It makes it easier to attract outside money into our community, and it makes it more attractive for businesses to move here." KCCHA has already successfully passed several important hurdles in its bid to win the tax credits. In February of this year, it was one of only eight organization in Washington State qualified by the US Treasury Department to apply for the tax credits. This month, the Bremerton City Council agreed to zoning changes to allow for redevelopment of Westpark, and is now considering whether to designate Westpark and Anderson Cove as official community renewal areas under state law. This means that these areas - in addition to Bremerton's downtown core - can be eligible for the funding stream. The KCCHA board is made up of the three Kitsap County Commissioners; the mayors of Bainbridge Island, Port Orchard, and Poulsbo; and a Iow-income resident. In 2002, this group elected the three county commissioners, Bremerton Housing Authority Executive Director Merrill Wallace, Kitsap Community Resources Housing Director Corky Senecal, and a Iow income resident to sit on the board of the local "Community Development Entity" that will actually handle the tax credits. So far, Phoenix, Arizona has received the largest amount of New Market Tax Credits -- $170 million in the first award round - for a redevelopment project similar to Bremerton's. KCCHA was designated as Bremerton's Community Renewal Agency by the city council in accordance with the state Community Renewal Act, which was created as a way to give local communities the tools they need to revitalize. j HAINLINE & ASSOCIATES, INC.
