Board of Aldermen — 2/19/2019 Page 5

In our emerging Railyard District east of Main Street we have approved plans for more than 200
units of new housing and we are beginning work on a new plan for the properties, some of them
City-owned at the western end of the mill yard bordering Mine Falls Park. This is a promising
site for homes for new downtown residents. We are working with Neighbor Works and with
Habitat for Humanity, to create more affordable apartments and home ownership opportunities
on Kinsley Street, Pine Street and on Paxton Terrace.

This new housing has added tens of millions of dollars to the downtown tax base and has added
1,000 new downtown residents who can patronize Main Street businesses.

streets including both Kinsley Street and Concord Street.

Alderwoman Lu

| thought that in a fiscal year there would be some type of effect on the bottom line if salaries were being
paid and fees were not coming in. So certainly the predicted income is going to be affected by waiving
fees. | know it is infinitesimal.

Alderman Dowd

The revenues in any department are estimates and we usually exceed them anyway. So it will not affect
the budget.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you.

President Wilshire

Further discussion?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| have a question. My question is, who owns the PAL building?

Alderman Lopez

Nobody. It is owned by a non-profit which is basically, there’s a Board of Directors that oversees it, but
there isn’t anybody who owns it.

President Wilshire

The non-profit owns it.

Alderman Lopez

OK the non-profit owns but there’s not like Shaun Nelson is not owning it, it’s a shared responsibility.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Just curious.
