Proposed Use of TIF Funds for 6110 Ridge Ave in Pleasant Ridge

 
Background

The Pleasant Ridge Development Corporation (PRDC) has been instrumental in spearheading efforts for reinvestment and redevelopment throughout the Pleasant Ridge area. By effectively utilizing both public and private funding sources, PRDC has successfully secured over $2.4 million in various grants. These funds have facilitated a multitude of transformative projects that aim to revitalize key corridors, attract new businesses, and enhance community amenities for residents and visitors alike. For more than ten years, PRDC has strategically focused on acquiring properties located at the critical intersection of Montgomery Road and Ridge Avenue. This initiative is aimed at reactivating and revitalizing this essential quadrant within the Pleasant Ridge Neighborhood Business District.
 

Proposed Project

One notable property within PRDC's revitalization effort is 6110 Ridge Avenue, which is situated on the northernmost boundary of this quadrant and lies adjacent to a developing neighborhood Pocket Park. This particular building holds significant potential to positively influence the commercial landscape of the business district; however, it also faces considerable marketability challenges that could hinder future tenants from occupying the space. In its current condition, the manufacturing building presents several obstacles for prospective users. Notably, there is an absence of off-street parking facilities, and substantial construction will be necessary to convert the building from its existing use into a viable commercial space. Upon acquiring 6110 Ridge Avenue, PRDC plans to partner with a local business or end-user/developer who will take on operations at this site. The selected end-user or developer will be responsible for funding both exterior and interior improvements.
