2003 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Acquisition and Clearance of Blighted Properties
The City of Fridley is requesting 2003 CDBG funds for the purpose of acquiring and clearing
blighted property as part of the Gateway West redevelopment project. The proposed activity is
consistent with the national objectives for the CDBG program as described in CFR 570.483 (c)
(1). The Gateway West redevelopment project is located near the northeast corner of University
Avenue and 57th Avenue NE. The project area includes a number of substandard and blighted
buildings. The City is considering several redevelopment options for the area, ranging from single
family housing to a much larger project including a mix of town homes, condominiums and retail.
Additional details on the project can be found in the City's 2003 CDBG application.
