REDEVELOPMENT & ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
1245 Spruce Street is located within Pueblo's Colorado Smelter Urban Renewal Area and the broader Bessemer area currently receiving focused public and private redevelopment attention through Pueblo's Building Back Bessemer initiative.
Ownership has already been in contact with local redevelopment and economic-development organizations regarding programs that may assist qualifying occupants and redevelopment projects.
Potential opportunities may include:
• PURA redevelopment assistance. The Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority established the Colorado Smelter Urban Renewal Area specifically to attract private investment, encourage redevelopment and rehabilitation, address blight and leverage public funding mechanisms.
• PURA LAUNCH Grant Program. PURA currently offers funding for qualifying, ready-to-go property improvement projects within Pueblo Urban Renewal Areas. Eligible projects may include building, façade and other improvements, subject to program requirements and approval.
• Building Back Bessemer / Advance Pueblo coordination. The City of Pueblo has specifically identified commercial revitalization along Northern Avenue as part of Building Back Bessemer and is working with PURA and Advance Pueblo to encourage investment and economic development in the area.
• Primary-job economic-development incentives. Qualifying companies that create primary jobs may be eligible to work with PEDCO and the City of Pueblo regarding Pueblo's half-cent economic-development fund. Eligible assistance can include certain building improvements, infrastructure and, in some cases, equipment. Incentives are project-specific and require applicable approvals and employment commitments.
This creates a particularly interesting opportunity for manufacturing, engineering, technology, distribution, laboratory, healthcare and other employment-generating companies evaluating a Pueblo location.
Ownership is willing to work directly with prospective tenants and Pueblo's economic-development organizations to explore programs applicable to a proposed project.
