<br /> Economic Development Analysis
<br /> The URS team will examine local economic development plans and the programs of individual
<br /> developers. Interviews with various local officials, neighborhood and community leaders, real estate
<br /> developers, financial officials, economic development officials, and others will be undertaken to
<br /> understand the character, amount, and value of economic impacts both in terms of incremental
<br /> development under alternative policies, and implications on existing development proximate to the
<br /> proposed transportation improvements. Potential actions to optimize should include: feasibility of
<br /> transit; positive land use, economic development, livability, sustainability and environmental benefits;
<br /> and the amelioration of any potential negative impacts. Time frames evaluated should include design/
<br /> development period, construction period, initial five and ten year periods of revenue operation, design
<br /> year(probably 2035 or 2040), and long term build out .
<br /> Deliverable:

<br /> Economic Conditions Assessment
<br /> The URS team will assess potential impacts on local property value as well as identify development
<br /> opportunities. The overall implications in terms of level of development, value of development,
<br /> households, population, employment, payroll,taxes and other impacts will be examined. In addition, the
<br /> URS team will identify and document urban and suburban development trends within the corridor and
<br /> identify and evaluate existing and proposed implementation of (re)-development incentives within the
<br /> corridor, particularly those related to transit-oriented development.The URS team will conduct selected
<br /> interviews with representatives of the local government and local real estate agents and developers to
<br /> gain a better understanding of current market trends. Time frames evaluated should include: design/
<br /> development period, construction period, initial five and ten year periods of revenue operation, design
<br /> year(probably 2035 or 2040) and long-term build-out.
<br /> Deliverable:
<br /> IS Economic Conditions Assessment Technical Memorandum (Draft and Final).
<br /> 4A.3 Neighborhoods, C irnirnr.unity Services and Environmental nmeintal Justice
<br /> This URS team will identify the existing neighborhoods along the corridor and describe the impacts of
<br /> the LRT alternative and any alignment options alternatives on neighborhoods. Impacts to neighborhoods
<br /> will include a description of the proposed LRT alignment and stations and the positive and negative
<br /> impacts associated with the transit stations. Neighborhoods and communities along the alignments will
<br /> be the focus of this effort. Most notably the Meadowmont community, Downing Creek, Springfield
<br /> Apartments, Laurel Trace, and Cameron Woods neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods in the vicinity
<br /> of the project terminus at Alston Avenue in east Durham are communities that may be affected by the
<br /> proposed project.
