Agenda item number five.

RA-18-2026.

Discussion for possible action regarding a resolution finding the project proposed by the tenant owner participation agreement between the City of Las Vegas Redevelopment Agency and RMCC Cancer Center LLC, located at 100 North City Parkway, suite 160, to be in compliance with and in furtherance of the goals and objectives of the redevelopment plan and authorizing the execution of a TOPA by the RDA not to exceed $95,000.

RDA Special Revenue Fund Redevelopment Area 1, Ward 5, Ms.

Summers Armstrong.

Note this item is related to Council Item 21, R 44-2026.

Ms.

Babski.

Good morning, Mayor, City Council Members, Dina Babski, Director of EUD, and with me here today is none other than Mr.

John Tippins.

Welcome.

Welcome.

For your consideration today is a grant, an RDA grant for a project located at 100 North City Parkway, suite 160, commonly known as the Mulaski Building.

And I know that we bring forward a lot of you know VIP OPA grants, but this one is particularly uh exciting to us because not only it aligns with the redevelopment agencies for removal of blight and things that we're designed to do, but it also addresses the health care strategy or priority that City Council uh recently reset as one of the strategic uh objectives and the strategic plan.

So the former um fitness uh space, I believe it was 24 hour fitness uh in the Malaska building.

Um it's on the ground floor of the building, and it had been vacant for uh a few years.

Um the grant is to comprehensive cancer centers of Nevada, and they are remodeling the facility to provide a new infusion center uh with 43 chairs uh as well as the brand new uh MRI equipment and other technologies in the building.

I'm sure you or most of you have uh attended the ribbon cutting that long ago, and so we are very excited to be a partner in this project.

Um comprehensive cancer and John Tippins on their behalf invested a large amount of money or almost $9 million, and so our $95,000 contribution to help them uh offset some of these costs.

We are very excited to present for your consideration.

And with that, John, would you like to add anything else?

Just thank you for your consideration and good to see everyone.

Thank you, John.

All right.

Um, is that the conclusion of your presentation?

Ah, yes, Mayor, thank you.

All right.

Are there any questions or comments from agency members?

Seeing none, I you are you're quite right, Miss Babski.

A number of us did attend the ribbon cutting.

Very, very exciting, and it's gonna save lives and is at a great location, and we're very, very excited about this.

Is there a motion, Councilwoman Summers Armstrong?

Thank you, Madam Mayor, and I just want to say thank you again, Mr.

Tippins, for um bringing this amazing project into Ward 5.

We are glad that this part of the medical district is moving our way, and uh we're excited.

So moved, madam mayor.

I thank you so much.

Please vote.

Post.

Motion carries.

Thank you so much.

Agenda item number six.

Reports from HR and A Advisors, Zoom New Marketing, Wood Rogers Inc., AREO, AI, and Melvin Valentine of the 22nd Technology of 22nd Technologies regarding the activities under the Economic Development Administration's economic adjustment assistance grant for historic Jackson Street, redevelopment area number one, ward five, Ms.

Summers Armstrong, Miss Babsky.

Yes, thank you, Mayor Dina Babski, Director of EUD.

And uh with me here today, our large team that worked really tirelessly on this project.

I'm going to just introduce them all quickly, and they will they all have turns within the presentation, so they will come up as they turns come up.

But I wanted to make sure to acknowledge everyone.

So let me just get my list talk and everybody correctly.

So Melvin Valentine, he uh he's our project manager for the grant.

Then we have uh Torian Gordon, CEO of Seneca.

Uh, with us also is Brian Grant.

You guys want to like raise a hand when I can't?

Yeah, there you go.

Thank you.

Brian Grant with Wood Rogers, principal engineer.

With with HRA consultants, we have Derek Fleming, senior advisor, and Jayla Hart, senior analyst.

And with Arrow AI, we have uh Glenn Nowak.

He's the architect and advisor of the team.

So uh with that, I'll let some of them sit back down, and then those of us who present first will stay.

Thank you.

Welcome.

All right, so uh I'm just gonna do a real quick introduction of the grant and then pass it over to the team because they did a very uh you know difficult work, and we're excited to present it today.

So we all know that Jackson Street uh is a very historically significant corridor in Las Vegas once it was the uh the epicenter of you know black entertainment, commerce, entrepreneurship.

And despite uh being uh, you know, uh despite of its importance at the time, the area really struggled uh in its efforts to revitalize and redevelop the community.

So uh it is a lot of that was due to you know certain things, uh, the barriers such as infrastructure uncertainty, lack of access to uh development expertise, uh, lack of access to capital networks, and when uh back in 2023, we when we did the assessment, the city uh through ED through EUD applied for a grant with the EDA to address specific uh to address those concerns through these solutions.

Community and landowner organization, uh, that was to address the fragmented uh structure of the properties that are in the district, capacity building and technical assistance to address the uh you know the lack of or limited um access to uh development expertise, economic impact analysis.

Uh obviously we needed to evaluate what would work in on Jackson Street um infrastructure to address the uncertainty of what's uh underground.

You know, there is uh it's in the in the redevelopment area, so we always have surprises when we start digging and the digital twin technology to really create the vision of what could uh thrive and bring the community into its future.

Uh in 2024, the EDA kindly awarded us a grant and the amount of 1.3 million dollars.

The redevelopment agency did a match of 1.6 million dollars.

And with that, we were very excited to uh hire Melvin Valentine.

He is a well-known community member.

He's been recognized by city council back in 2024 as the educator of the year, so we were thrilled to bring him on board.

And without further ado, I'm gonna turn it over to Melvin.

Thank you, Dina.

So uh I started the project March of 2024, and I was super excited about this opportunity because one of the first things that really attracted to me to the project was the community was leading at the beginning.

Uh the EDA grant proposal, the EDA uh the community was at the table.

Uh Deedra Edmund Drew, Marcus Allen, the Collins sisters were all working with the ED with uh the EUD to propose uh EDA grant for cultural tourism on the historic west side, which will revitalize the whole area.

So that was one of the reasons why community engagement was at the forefront of this entire project.

So one of the first things we did was organize the community, those leaders at the forefront and started the Jackson Street Alliance, nonprofit organization.

Immediately, this group really began to uh push an agenda, economic agenda in the historic west side that galvanized people in the community, a lot of critical stakeholders.

They received uh NAACP uh community award in 2024.

Uh October of 2024.

Uh they hit the ground running with Main Street, went to three national conferences representing all of Las Vegas on a national level.

And last but not least, uh they were acknowledged by this council April 1st of 2026 with Jackson Street Alliance Day.

So I'm super proud of the community, and we're looking forward for this great work.

And the next one up is Seneca Services, which did a dynamic program of develop the developer program, which empowered the community for development.

Torian.

Perfect.

I quoted this one.

Good morning, you all.

Um I guess we'll go to the next slide.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

So the first thing we had to do when we came in is make sure that we hear our first seek to understand and be understood.

Our task in this was making sure that we provide technical assistance as well as education.

In order to keep up with this complex conversation, we needed to make sure that the community leaders at the table, which were JSA in partnership with the city, the councilwoman, and the stakeholders, that we were all speaking the same language.

So the big thing for us was making sure that training, capacity, and resources sat at the center of the conversation, so that we weren't talking at one another or past one another, but rather around what this 50-year historic initiative that was really captured well within the 100 plan, how we could all move forward and make sure that the community stakeholders understood what was happening.

There were key levers that we wanted to make sure that we measured throughout this project.

So you figure the first thing was training cohorts.

It's how we're going to organize the various landowners on Jackson to understand what they want as landowners, as generational landowners as well, and what will fit for them and their families in alignment to what the goals were for the city.

The second one is the technical assistance.

There's a lot of people that want to do a lot of things, but what does it do in terms of what these properties are zoned, what can be done, what's feasible, and what fits the actual goals of the city.

The next was access to experts.

There was no secret that over 50 years there haven't been developers that have come into the neighborhood to do development.

It's we were being tasked with bringing those resources to this project to say one, they understand the history, two, we want to preserve that story, and three, we could bring the resources to bring that to life.

The next is access to capital.

It's a lot, it's a lot to have ideas, those ideas align, and everyone wants to do it, but who wants to fund it?

Became the core question.

And can we bring a stakeholder to the table that's willing to put skin in the game and not just come to the city and say we need 100% of your help?

So that became another key part of who's aligned to this incredible vision that JSA was leading in partnership with the city.

The last part was offering something that really evergreened the education.

It's one thing to go to a training to get a pack, but to hear it over and over again is when the real learning happens.

It's when you had time to process.

It's also taken into consideration that this is a very emotional topic as well.

So a lot of times the first time you hear it, you might not hear anything that's being said.

You're only hearing the things you're thinking of.

So it was important for us that we provide it something that allowed people to go back and see what was being taught over and over again.

The next piece got to the core.

It's what are we teaching and what are we bringing that one is specific and relevant to what's going on in the historic West side that's mindful of what the history is for Jackson and brings national expertise.

We were able to partner with Freddie Mack to bring a national program that is a develop the developer program focused on first-time development.

It's whether that's single family or multifamily developers, here's how you do development, and here's all the key steps that you need to be able to understand for you yourself, for funders that want to invest in the project, and for the city to understand, yes, you should trust these community leaders to understand that they understand what it means to do development, what it means for it to be approved, how to go through the proper approval approval methodologies, and have the financing for it.

At the end of our training, we had a 36-hour cohort where it was a mix of in-person and online training to accommodate the flexibility of the 19 graduates that we had in order to meet for it.

And at the end, it was it was an incredible thing to see everyone present their own projects.

We had landowners that partnered with one another and presented on their own seven different projects that they saw for their land on Jackson.

And the part that I would say was most what we're most proud of is that the developments weren't self-centric.

They were, hey, if we do this development for parking, it can help this development across the street.

And you really got to see a sense of how powerful it is, this community development and what JSA and the community in Melvin and EUD and the councilwoman were really putting together in terms of not working in silos.

The last piece for, or rather, getting to the media aspect of this, we have a streaming platform which we put all the training on, which also has other edutainment elements, which became a key core of how we wanted to make sure that this isn't something that ends just because the grant ends.

It's how can you go back to it?

How do you have resources to learn?

And that's what the media aspect was provided on our streaming platform, which led to diving into the actual work.

We had a couple of developers that came into Vegas along with those that have been here.

And one of the things that I will say the community pushed on is we didn't want to just have another PowerPoint as we were looking right now as a deliverable at the end.

Is do we have real projects with real investment with real opportunities that can break ground?

And that was something I'll say I was proud that community pushed us and pushed, I think, all of the partners here on.

So we were able to go through different scenarios that could work on individual lots, what could work as a master plan throughout all of Jackson, and unpack what that would require in order to bring everyone to the table.

With those, it also now got to wait a minute, this is really happening.

And I think with that, that became another core part that we anticipated of what's this mean emotionally for something that everyone's been working so hard to do to actually bring development to.

What we got to as a conclusion across the end of this was no, we don't want a 50 plus story building.

No, we don't want something that is an eyesore to the community.

There was really a feel of mixed income, mixed use, residential at the top, commercial ground floor feeling that was consistent across the community in the city.

And that was at least something directionally that we were able to work towards.

Where lastly, we were able to get now in partnership with neighborhood services as well through our RFP on a lot as well.

The first project to be submitted to the city via 9% funding for a $20 million development, which would be 50 residential units with ground floor medical services, which both the city, the councilwoman, and everyone wanted to make sure that we did would be there.

This project additionally provides equity to the JSA organization that was created.

So they are really leading the charge without having to make the real emotional decisions yet on what to do with their lots.

I think this organization, this group has set the precedent of what it means for indie development partners to come in to uh to Jackson and the historic west side, and I thank you all.

Now we'll get to the feasibility aspect of it with what Rogers for the infrastructure aspect.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Uh Brian Gantt with Wood Rogers for the record.

Our role in this evaluation of redevelopment along Jackson Avenue was to look at the infrastructure at kind of a planning level.

We're really the due diligence piece of the supportive backbone infrastructure to analyze are there any roadblocks to development or any of the larger investments needed.

And so we put together a planning level document looking at the different elements of infrastructure.

I'll give you a summary, but I would like to submit this for uh acceptance.

Oops, if I may.

So again, uh, what was the infrastructure analysis?

It was the purpose of this study was to analyze uh infrastructure capacity, determine potential uh improvement needs to support redevelopment.

If we look at the different uh elements that were evaluated, transportation, sewer, water, power, gas, these are the types of things that we're talking about again at uh overall corridor or Jackson Avenue area level.

This was not a parcel by parcel evaluation, but more looking at the big picture and being that due diligence piece.

There was also the opportunity to include a if we're gonna re uh reconsider any infrastructure, is there uh opportunity to instill some sustainability components to make it a little bit more forward compatible from a sustainability perspective, scan the environmental uh aspects to see are there any elements that need to be incorporated moving forward?

Are there environmental processes or there, you know, is there anything from an environmental standpoint that uh developers should be aware of?

And then uh also taking a look at funding to support infrastructure investment.

So the overall process to take a look at uh and analyze infrastructure was first we need to determine what what's the future demand.

A lot of these uh utilities require some form of demand analysis, and I'll kind of walk through the scenarios that we looked at to support that.

You can then take that information compare it to the existing capacity and identify any improvements that need to be made.

HRNA will be talking about some different development scenarios that were evaluated.

We made sure that our future development scenarios when we were calculating that demand were consistent with the scenarios that were evaluated as part of their study, too.

So quite a bit of coordination.

If we look at the different scenarios, um our approach was to develop four different potential ways that the Jackson Avenue area could develop.

Uh, the benefit here is it gives you overall bookends of what your demand might be.

Looking at these different scenarios allows you to identify what's that highest demand for each of these infrastructure elements, and then do our calculations and evaluate whether or not that infrastructure can support those different scenarios.

So we had four different scenarios that we developed for the overall development of Jackson Avenue because we're looking for kind of a build-out scenario.

Uh, one was mostly residential focused, second had a little bit more office uh focus to it all.

Third was more of an entertainment hub.

And the fourth was adding a hotel element to that entertainment hub.

So really rounding out the different potential directions that development could go, because as we all know, development is market-driven, and so this could change over time.

From there, we were able to calculate the corresponding utility demand.

The way we went about it for this project was to create an ArcGIS urban model for Jackson.

What that does is you input usage factors, so you know, demand per day, whether that's per dwelling unit or or per square footage of a certain type of use, then applied that to each scenario, generating demand outputs.

The worst case demand was then compared against existing capacity for the different utilities infrastructure.

First and foremost of that is identifying what's out there and mapping out the existing facilities.

And we did that through various sources, City of Las Vegas information, GIS, geo hubs.

Fortunately, Wood Rogers was able to support the city in the 2022 Jackson Avenue Roadway Project that improved the roadway along there.

So we had a lot of that information from that 2022 project as well.

So getting now fast forwarding to the results and kind of scanning for each of the different infrastructure elements.

Let's start with transportation with that 2022 roadway project.

That project added, oh sorry, here's some okay.

That project added uh wide sidewalks, bike markings, landscaping, lighting.

So from the surface transportation infrastructure piece, it's actually in really good shape.

Uh looking at the impact that traffic would have on that two-lane roadway if everything were built out.

Fortunately, the two-lane roadway capacity can handle full build-out of trips.

There are recommendations in the report to increase transit frequency along the line through there to as development occurs, and then also opportunities to incorporate the downtown shuttle loop or or other shuttles that are in play at the time.

Looking at sanitary sewer sewer, there's an existing eight-inch diameter pipe that runs along Jackson Avenue.

That pipe has sufficient capacity.

We worked with the city to have them evaluate the highest peak scenario.

The one response that did come back is the pipe condition is actually really old.

So any new development coming in is likely going to be required to line any new taps in there because of the condition of that pipe.

Looking forward, that pipe probably should be replaced at some point due to the age.

You can only tap into these things so many times.

However, with the new roadway project in place, you probably don't want to go digging up that new asphalt today.

So something to keep on the radar.

Water, there's an existing eight-inch line that has sufficient capacity as well.

We worked with the water district to provide their hydraulic grade line information, basically what kind of pressure do we have.

Our team was able to put together a water CAD model, analyze it, and there's sufficient pressure to meet all the fire flow needs and standards out there.

Similarly with power, took a look at the MV Energy substations out there.

There's about eight that service the overall downtown area.

And the information we were able to piece together suggests there's about 30% capacity available in those substations.

Obviously, you get to a partial level, you'd have to work out individual power drops, but there seems to be overall capacity.

Natural gas and working with Southwest Gas in the area, there's some existing pipes along two and four-inch pipes along Jackson Avenue.

According to Southwest Gas, that provides 80,000 cubic feet per hour.

So that should work for almost any uses out there.

They did caution if you ended up with two casinos or 30 restaurants, that might start to tax it, but for the most part, you're you're okay.

And then broadband, which is a critical infrastructure anymore.

Um they're analyzing what's out there.

There's existing fiber optic on 8 Street and F Street crossing Jackson Avenue.

There's conduit available that was incorporated with the roadway project in 2022, and then Cox has lines in the area running along the alleys.

We did hear that there are some submissions to the city for other vendors coming in there, and this is in addition to cell phone-based broadband.

So we're actually better off than we might have thought from a broadband standpoint out here.

So looking at some of the other elements, uh, our report also does include a scan of different sustainability opportunities, looking at it from multiple points of view, starting first with social and economic sustainability opportunities because that is an important piece when we're looking at making things more sustainable.

That includes recommendations to hire locally, you know, make sure that there's services there that are supporting that local community that helps those services be more sustainable in the long run.

We also looked at different sustainability options with respect to energy efficiency, water conservation, all the way through air quality and thermal comfort.

Under our environmental scan, we did uh take a look at the national wetlands inventory.

Shocker, there's no wetlands out there, um, and look to threaten endangered species.

Again, jogger, not out there.

Uh, scanning NDP's website.

There is one site along Jackson Avenue that does have a monitoring location.

Um, so something to be aware of as developers come in there.

We also conducted a class one cultural resources inventory, and that that documentation is included in our report as well.

Our report also identifies different funding sources that can be used for infrastructure or different pieces of it.

I won't walk through each and every one of these.

I think one of the ones that's really potentially uh applicable here is the CPACE program.

Um, there's a lot of opportunities to tie that in with some of the sustainability recommendations to really invest in in some better, more responsive type infrastructure.

And thank you very much.

Next up is HRNA.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Um again, Derek Fleming, HRNA advisors.

Uh, we're national real estate advisory economic development uh firm that has been incredibly excited to be a part of this journey with the city of Las Vegas, uh, Jackson Street Alliance and our consulting team uh members as well.

Uh this exercise for us has been one where we were charged with looking at the historic Jackson Avenue from a cultural tourism standpoint, an opportunity to revitalize the area, looking through the lens of the history, uh, the background, the narratives, the incredible stories that are distinct to this neighborhood, and how that could be leveraged to build an economic future that is vibrant, that is inclusive, and that is an opportunity for the people who live in the community as well as inviting visitors from outside of the community.

So we're gonna walk through very very quickly what is a significant amount of uh work and diligence uh in this report.

We're gonna submit it here for your indulgence.

Thank you so much.

Um, a lot of analysis there.

Um, what uh what you see here is um you know, obviously, you all know the history of this important district in Las Vegas and its importance, not just to the city, but really to the country.

Uh, a place that uh the African American community uh was resilient, was a leader, had an entertainment Mecca on all of that through what's been described before uh has been lost.

And this process was about how to bring that back in opportunity that was contemporary, that was sustainable, and that again was about a legacy, uh legacy uh level of inclusiveness for the folks who uh live there, particularly working closely with the JSA Alliance was a really really uh important part of this process.

Uh this area, uh, as you all know, is uh pretty much a 10-acre uh set of land, uh, a lot of vacant territory, but also a lot of significant historic sites.

These historic sites, the churches, uh buildings uh that are that are still existing are really important in terms of the story, how to build an opportunity for narrative, bringing people from other parts of the country who want to visit Las Vegas, maybe haven't been to this part of the city before, but want to share in the specialness and uniqueness that this neighborhood has to offer.

So, our report is about how to physically uh you know bring that back in a way that is real uh through an implementation process, and this report really outlined the details of that process.

We're also gonna walk through what was also a next slide, our community engagement process.

We've worked very closely with some new our uh community engagement partner on this project, a local uh community engagement consultant, and making sure that we touched the community in various levels and points through study uh groups, through uh sessions that were um remote, sessions that were in person, community sessions, uh, but this was a very robust set of uh conversations with community about what they wanted to see, what they wanted this particular project to result in.

And a lot of what came out of that was how can we build a retail environment that is uh representative of what other neighborhoods have, preserving and building on more residential, uh, bringing some office and neighborhood service uh opportunities, as well as an entertainment uh uh component that builds on the history and legacy of what this neighborhood used to be.

So, part of our recommendation is about stitching uh what we heard from community in those sessions and analyzing each one of those for the highest economic opportunity through that scenario.

Turn over to Jayla.

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Shayla Hart.

I was the lead analyst on this project, and as Jack Ms.

Derek was saying, we spoke to over 200 community members through the process of doing this, both through in-person sessions and through a survey.

And also we did a lot of market analysis, and that led us to a point where we realized that mixed use development really is what's necessary to help catalyze future investment on Jackson.

And so the idea is we looked at four different development scenarios, looking at anywhere from retail office space to residential commercial space, all anchored by some destination use that's meant to help bring foot traffic on a daily basis to the corridor.

And so here we're thinking about how can you have mixed income housing to help fill the need for affordable housing in the city.

How can you have a lively entertainment venue that caters more to smaller artists so that you don't always have to go to the strip to have an entertainment experience?

And how can you have more niche local retail offerings that you really can't find anywhere else in Las Vegas?

And so what we landed on was initiating a mixed-use development on the 400 block of Jackson between E and D Street.

And the idea here is that this block in particular, you have city-owned land that is currently being developed, as Seneca mentioned with the Pressbook development.

You have JSA property owners who are ready to build on their land, and you also have ample vacant space in the infrastructure capacity to carry all of this development.

And so what we looked at was seeing how much could we size a development under current zoning that T4 MS Main Street.

And what we said of looking across both the northern and southern block of the 400 Walk of Jackson is you could have upwards of 149,000 square feet of residential, about 37,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space, um, and then either a mid or small size entertainment venue on the mid-size, you're looking at something upwards of 60,000 square feet that could hold upwards of 10,000 people.

But in talking to folks, they also said, what if we had wanted a more intimate experience, something more so along the 5,000 square foot that can hold closer to a thousand people?

And so what we did is we got those analysis thoughts and we looked into what would be the estimated project cost about any development of this size.

And these estimated project costs become our inputs for the economic input, economic impact analysis.

And this analysis really was the core of our report.

And when we talk about economic impact, we're thinking about how does an initial investment create ripple effects in the larger economy.

And so for this work, we were looking at how does an initial construction investment lead to larger impacts in the larger community.

And so we think about initial development and then the direct, indirect, and induced effects that these have on the larger Las Vegas MSA metro statistical area.

And so our first phase development scenario, this mixed-use residential commercial anchored by an entertainment venue, is estimated to produce quite a few positive direct and indirect impacts.

And so we're looking at anywhere from 300 to 540 new jobs being created, primarily in new construction jobs.

And with that comes about 30 to 53 million dollars in estimated labor income that is coming in for workers, and that can then generate about 19 to 34 million dollars in new annual spending for the community and for the city more broadly.

With that, you're getting upwards of 1.7 million dollars in local sales taxes, as well as about 43 to 76 million dollars in additional regional gross product, really helping strengthen the entire economy of the region.

And beyond just you know these wonderful numbers, really investing in Jackson Street helps to spur the redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood and really helps with activation around surrounding streets, leading into James Gay Park, and in general, just helping the development community understand that the historic west side is ready for development, if they're ready to come in and meet the community where they are with their needs.

So in our fuller report, we map out a very detailed implementation plan, but really the general gist is that over the course of 30 months, we think that this development scenario can take life on the 400 block.

And really, it's about using the first six months to you know, convene property owners, get that master plan together and start to think about how are we going to activate Jackson in the interim so that people know that there is change coming to the neighborhood.

And then, you know, working through site planning, budgeting and financial work, um, all that technical assistance work that Seneca spoke to earlier, and then lastly getting to a point where you're able to, you know, do project permitting, groundbreaking, actually build a new development with the um aim of you know having tenants come into the community who really are you know niche, diverse, minority-owned uh excuse me, independent business owners who are really hoping to contribute something new to the community.

And really, what we want to close on is the fact that Jackson Street's competitive advantage lies in the fact that there is so much history, not only in the street, but in the larger neighborhood, and the ability to you know coordinate landowners to have a differentiated retail amenities that really isn't like anything you'd find on downtown or the strip is really crucial to the success of this corridor.

And so in our report, we give a longer term phasing strategy, but this image here on your screen just shows that if we're starting with that development and that pink square at 400 Jackson, you can branch out westward and start to activate more of that vacant land that's sitting on the corridor, and then as that comes to life, you can then do some smaller inflow development working east towards Shame Skate Park, really with the goal of creating a place that you know honors the legacy of Black Las Vegas, but also realizes that the community is changing, becoming more diverse, and the community is ready to meet that present moment in a lot of ways.

And this just provides a graphic of our proposed recommended development scenario developed by Aero AI, who will speak shortly after us.

So you can see the housing, the ground floor retail, really creating a space that's lively at all times of day.

And this is the entertainment space here on the corner.

Uh an opportunity that connects directly to downtown, and this is really an anchor for the social experience uh within the neighborhood.

And every now and then it rains in Vegas raining.

A little bit of water, a little bit of sustainability.

Um, but thank you all so much for your time, and we'll pass it over to AeroA to close us out.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you again.

Thank you again, Dina.

Thank you, Council.

Um again, my name is Glenn Nilak with Aero AI, and momentarily I'm going to turn things over to my co-founder, Victory Igbin Obaro, also a former student of mine.

Great, great exciting day.

Uh where I was an architect contributor back uh in 2016 on the 100 plan, and uh very excited to see how uh what Victory is about to share really takes what can feel like an overwhelming amount of information that was just presented and distills it into something that's really uh intuitive for um community members to engage with.

I'm gonna turn it over to Victory.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Um good morning.

Uh I'm Victory Binobarer.

RAI is a geospatial technology company based here in Las Vegas.

We were tasked with essentially bringing uh the vision to life through 3D graphics and using a tool called a digital twin.

Um, explain what a digital twin is, think about a platform or tool that essentially consolidates all the work that has been done so far.

The economic impact reports, the scenario visualization, and very importantly, the existing conditions of Jackson Avenue as it exists today.

So what we're able to present to you is a single source of truth that aligns every stakeholder, the city, um, the consultants, landowners, to be able to envision and see what some of these scenarios would look like, but also have a digital replica of what Jackson is currently today and what it could be.

I would like to premise that the visuals you will see are for um illustrative purposes only and not necessarily the final uh what the final vision would look like.

So we started this process uh with a very hands-on approach by engaging with all of the consultants that were involved, um, as well as collecting corridor data that currently exists at the city level and also talking to the property owners as well, because it was very important for us to do this so that we have enough information to integrate into the digital twin.

So we engaged with HRNA, uh, Wood Rogers, Seneca, uh some of the property owners, and we also took these data sets to organize something called a design charred.

I'll let Glenn talk very briefly about what that is and why it's so important to this process.

I mean, all of the teams uh that have participated in this work have been gathered around a table, and it's it's being at the at that room in those conversations that really uh pushes a project forward, and often those get uh put into their own separate reports, and we have in this digital twin tool the ability to take all of those contributions from diverse expertise and the community stakeholders and put them together, make them very accessible, uh, really a gamified experience that you'll you'll get to see a little bit more of momentarily.

So it's not a static uh product, but something that is is interactive and it can change over time as as uh development continues.

Thank you.

So, how do we go from the diverse metrics, the findings from the consultants, the input from the owners, um, and also the scenarios and infrastructure analysis from the infrastructure team.

Uh, we're able to start first by mapping existing Jackson.

So, what you're seeing is a fly through of Jackson Avenue showing you the different scenarios from the existing conditions to uh building typologies that shows what or complements what the consultants have been talking about, commercial on the ground level, uh, and residential uh that uh top level.

So just doing a before and after of what Jackson uh currently looks like uh from aerial imagery and then overlaying what that same corridor could look like once some of these scenarios that are being proposed are potentially integrated uh into the platform.

We'll see.

We also had the opportunity to visualize uh Love on Jackson, who be showing more um metrics here.

So this is the same scenario visualization in the digital twin platform.

These dots that you see are essentially broad brand broadband coverage that we received from um uh uh Wood Rogers team.

So we're not only able to envision scenarios when it comes to buildings, we're also able to envision um the integration of infrastructure and utilities within uh the building and the area.

On the right and right hand side, top right and bottom right, we're showing integrated geospatial information within the digital twin as well.

They're KPI metrics, it's kind of hard to see, uh, but we'll be able to provide uh physical copies.

But our KPI metrics, metrics for each of these scenarios, things like evaluation scores, um, the possible number, the amount of residential uh square footage we can get for each scenario integrated into the platform, as well as um understanding zoning and property ownership across the corridor.

The example that I like to share is that when you see on a spreadsheet uh this proposal's uh scenario too uh, for example, has 700 residential units.

You may be thinking, well, what does that look like?

And and each of these scenarios is representative of all of those metrics uh from the other consultants on the on the project.

Thank you.

Welcome to the Jackson Avenue Digital Plan.

This interactive model helps us explore the historic West Side's past, present, and possible future by bringing together reality capture, planning data, infrastructure analysis, design guidance, and community centered redevelopment scenarios.

Centenario visualization for illustrative purposes only.

So speaker subject to change.

After it's done, just want you to.

This is conversational AI.

We've taken all of the information that we're gathered by the consultants.

Jackson Avenue is located in the user.

This is very important uh for people who may not be very familiar with reading technical drawings, who may want to keep um informed about all of the findings that have been discovered from this process without necessarily having the time to go through those reports.

Think about Chat GPT for those of us that are familiar with it, but within Jackson, being able to tell its story, its history, and all of the proposed actions that will be taken over a period of time.

So this will be live and public for anybody to go in and answer questions uh and you'll be able to experience it just like you would a video game.

The digital twin for Jackson really for us, it's been an awesome opportunity to be able to map what exists, a lot of historical sites around that area, but also to be able to tell the story of what the future could look like using this platform.

And we're very humbled and blessed to be a part of this process.

I want to thank you.

What you're looking at currently is also just visualizing what a popular social event, love on Jackson could look like when some of these scenarios are implemented.

Um so the digital twin is it's not a standalone static platform, it's something that we hope would evolve as these scenarios come to life, as this development actually happened.

We can continue to upgrade and update this experience so that we can bake all of this good work in time um for for now and in the future.

Why is this important?

Uh we need to understand what exists today.

And one of our line stakeholders, obviously, we talked about a lot of investments, being able to have compelling visuals for investors and other people that uh may be interested is very important.

And with that, I think we are on time.

I want to say thank you very much for the opportunity.

Thank you all very much.

We appreciate it.

Thank you.

Um there any questions or comments from agency members?

This was a report only, and no action is required.

Thank you for those of your time, Mayor.

Thank you.

I beg your pardon.

I said thank you for allowing us to have a little few extra minutes.

I appreciate it.

My pleasure.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Council.

And as you've seen, we've been working really, really hard.

This presentation just really scratched the surface of all the hours and time that was put into this blood, sweating tears in order to make a difference on Jackson Street.

That we uh there's so much more that needs to be done, but as you can see, we're not quitting, we're not giving up.

Um we are determined to make sure that Jackson Avenue, um our cultural corridor, um, is brought back to life that not only honors the past but also is looking to the future of what needs to be done for all of the citizens.

Um I just want to thank EDU, uh EDA, all the acronyms who took part in this um presentation, all of the consultants.

Um it's been a labor of love.

This is my passion project.

Like I said, my mother grew up on Jackson Street.

So this is very, very important, not only to the members of JSA, which we're all legacy landowners, um, to the West Side, to the city.

Um this is, you know, Las Vegas is a global destination.

This should be a global destination as well.

The historic West Side cannot be lost.

Thank you.

We thank you very much.

Is there anyone else wishing to speak?

Seeing no one, the redevelopment agency meeting is adjourned.

We will start our city council meeting at 9 30.
