Good evening, Mayor, Council. Thank you for the opportunity to be here this afternoon to discuss with you a proposed public private partnership that we refer to as the Providence Square Redevelopment. Before I get involved in the details, I do want to take a minute to acknowledge the development team who's sitting in the front row over here, as well as the county staff, for the collaboration over the last several months and working towards what is uh amounting to be a true public-private partnership in the sense of the word. The thoughtfulness of the development team have come to the table in talking about the bigger picture of the development project, working with the city and the county on the number of public benefits, it's been really helpful.
as we get through this process. So I do like I said, I just want to take a minute to acknowledge that. So we introduced this P three opportunity to the Jobs and Economic Development Committee in November. We brought it back again in December when the committee voted uh unanimously to approve it to refer it to full council for consideration during this evening's meeting. There was a term or two in the last conversation that was still outstanding and thankfully I'm happy to say that over the last week, hours and minutes, we actually worked through those final details and I think we got a really solid one win win solution here. And something that provides the city with a little greater flexibility in the future.
We're talking about here is a unique opportunity for a uh transformative revitalization of about one hundred and five acres along Providence Road. With new mixed income housing, increased walkability, and accessibility to new commercial uses, the proposed redevelopment will help further and drive the city's objectives for ten minute communities. As you can see here, the project is located about seven miles from Center City. Um right here, the center city's right there. And the slide on the right shows you a little bit more of a zoomed in view with Providence Road going north and south, Sardis Lane to the east. Full Providence Road breaking off to the west, International Drive, and then McAlpine Creek and Greenway to the south.
There are three rezonings that you see here that are coordinated that you may be familiar with, with Olivia Properties, Northwood Raven, and Horizon Development. While each of these three rezonings are separate in how they're handling the rezoning process, they are coordinated with each other. And we're actually looking at this as a much bigger picture of all the developments together rather than one-offs or project by project.
