12-01-2011 - Westside Redevelopment Planning to become a Reality: Edgewood Plaza property deed recorded by Mayor Ockomon
For some time, the City’s Economic Development Team and Redevelopment Commission have been in planning with developers on a project known as the “Westside Redevelopment Plan.” The initial design, which included the area from Raible Avenue along Nichol Avenue into the Westside area of commerce, shows a beautiful new corridor and new business plazas that would be available for new tenants. In essence, this would be a total facelift for this section of the community.

Until recently, the city was not able to obtain the Edgewood Plaza, which was an obvious component included in the redevelopment plans. As a result of nonpayment of property taxes, the City has now obtained the deed to this property and on Thursday, December 1^st, Mayor Kris Ockomon recorded the deed at the Madison County Courthouse, consummating the reality of this project.

Recognizing the condition of the building and with the intention of a rebuild, the City will be assisting the only remaining tenant of the Edgewood Plaza to relocate to the location of their choice within the city. Once that move is made, demolition funds that have been identified will be apportioned to this project, specs will be completed, and bids will be opened later this month.

Following the demolition of the former K-Mart/Payless complex on the west end of Nichol Avenue in February 2010, the city Economic Development team worked with developers to target grocers, retailers, and neighborhood businesses to bring to the area. While the city’s administration will soon be in transition, the incoming Mayor has made it known that the redevelopment of the West Side is also his desire and Mayor Ockomon is confident that these plans will carry through as a continued priority for the Anderson community.
