Mid-South Belmont Placemaking Funds

At a glance

  • What: $40,000 in tax increment financing for creative placemaking in the Mid-South Belmont Revitalization TIF district, including a mural at a 14th Street entryway.
  • Result: Passed 6-1 on September 21, 2026 (Duden no).
  • Scale: The mural is expected to cost under $20,000; the rest leaves room for neighborhood signage.

Details

  • Marvin said the Mayor's Arts Council approved the mural under the Belmont subarea plan, the building owner agreed to host it, and the amendment was needed because plan timing missed the regular capital improvement cycle.
  • Resolution A-95955 establishes the project for creative placemaking, ornamental lighting, public art and decorative streetscape amenities in an area bounded by Benton Street, Interstate 180, North 20th Street and Oak Creek. The Planning Commission found it in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan.
  • Introduced by Carlson, seconded by Beckius.
