Architectural, engineering, legal, environmental, financial, planning, and other services
Property assembly costs, including acquisition of land, demolition of buildings and site preparation
Costs of rehabilitation, reconstruction or repair or remodeling of existing buildings, fixtures and leasehold improvements
Cost of financing during construction
A portion of the interest cost incurred by a developer related to the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a redevelopment project
Reimbursement is approved by the City Council through a redevelopment agreement.
