SUMMARY:
This Resolution approves the transfer of property at 2709 Spruce Street from
NeighborWorks of Southern Colorado (NWSOCO) to the City of Pueblo.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council adopted Resolution No. 13099 on November 10, 2014, approving the
transfer of a City owned property to NWSOCO for affordable housing development.
BACKGROUND:
At the time the City of Pueblo transferred the property to NWSOCO, it was located
within the boundaries of the Colorado Smelter Superfund Site. As a property within the
boundaries, environmental mitigation could be done at no cost to NWSOCO through a
program run by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The final boundary, which
was determined after the time of deed conveyance from the City of Pueblo to
NWSOCO, did not include this property inside the boundary.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City of Pueblo will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the property if the
deed is conveyed to the City.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
