Bid Detail

13-169 - Purchase & Redevelopment of 120 Mill Street

The City of Springfield (hereafter CITY), is requesting proposals for redevelopment of the following residential parcel:
120 Mill Street, Parcel #08675-0049

The City will entertain offers that equal or exceed the City's determination of the fair market/minimum price of the property. MINIMUM BID PRICE IS $1,000.00

The CITY is interested in proposals which will renovate this historic one-family house to its appearance as shown in the 1939 photo and as approved by the Springfield Historical Commission. Especially important are removal of the one-story cinderblock addition and removal of artificial siding from the original house.

The CITY is interested in proposals which will renovate 120 Mill Street as an owner-occupied single-family house. The CITY will consider creating a second apartment in addition to the owner unit. Rental and institutional uses such as group homes, churches, and schools, will not be allowed

DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE

This property is in the Maple Hill Historic District. Income producing projects may qualify for the federal and state 20% tax credit for historic rehabilitation.

CDBG funds are being made available by the CITY to be used for exterior repairs. No income restrictions are applied to these funds. CDBG funds will be an interest free, forgivable loan not to exceed $25,000. The loan will be paid out as reimbursement of expenditures. Half of the loan will be forgiven upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Springfield Building Commissioner. Once the Certificate of Occupancy has been obtained, 20% of the remaining loan will be forgiven each year the property is owner occupied over the next five year period.

The proposed development should minimize other public expenditures and not require ongoing public operating subsidies.
