Description, Background Information & Purpose
body
Attached is a resolution approving the Eligibility Report for the Narrows Urban Renewal District. This is the first step required by Idaho Statute in creating a new urban renewal district. The report reviews the criteria for establishing a district and determines which of the criteria are met for the site. The statute requires that only one of the criteria be met. If the Council approves the report, the Idaho Falls Redevelopment Agency (IFRA) will then be authorized to draft an urban renewal district plan, which will also come back for Council approval. The IFRA board reviewed and approved this report on September 18, 2025. It is now being presented for Council approval.
