Process for Obtaining Property

Control of the properties listed are handled by one of three entities: the City of Paducah, Urban Renewal & Community Development Agency (URCDA), or the Paducah Renaissance Alliance (PRA). If the City of Paducah is the listed owner, then a proposal will need to be made to the City Commission. If the listed owner is URCDA or PRA, then a proposal will need to be made to the appropriate board. These two boards are made up of private citizens appointed by the Mayor and Commission. The Paducah Renaissance Alliance generally controls the sale of properties in LowerTown and downtown. URCDA oversees the transactions in the Fountain Avenue project area, and also controls several properties throughout city limits. For more information on LowerTown properties, visit www.paducaharts.com. For more imformation on Fountain Avenue properties, visit www.fountainave.com.

The process for obtaining a property is essentially the same for all three entities. Once you have identified a desired public property, a proposal must be developed and submitted to the respective board for consideration. Planning staff will assist you in getting your proposal to the appropriate board. All proposal requirements must be met and a complete proposal submitted to the board before it will be considered. In general, the requirements must include at a minimum: a narrative of the project outlining the intended use of the property; the proposed purchase price; detailed rehab or construction plans with floor plans, elevations, and landscaping; a firm third party detailed estimate of construction costs from an engineer, architect, or contractor; a project timeline; and proof of financial ability to complete the project from a lending institution.
