A proposed timeline to jumpstart construction of affordable workforce housing on a 3.2-acre parcel in Bahama Village met with some resistance Thursday, May 6, at a meeting of the Bahama Village Redevelopment Advisory Committee.
Key West strategic plan consultant Elisa Levy presented the proposed timeline as well as other development options for the project to BVRAC members to get their input. City officials are trying to speed the process of finding a developer in order to meet an April 2022 deadline for a state grant that could fund a large part of the cost. While that is almost a year away, the contractor Request for Proposals (RFP) process can take a year or more to complete.
The former Keys Energy diesel plant in Bahama Village, which lost a development deal in January, may be drawing new suitors.
City Manager Greg Veliz said another organization may be coming forward to make a proposal shortly. He wouldnât identify the group. But the Bahama Village Redevelopment Advisory Committee (BVRAC) also wants a crack at turning the abandoned diesel plant into a mixed-use complex that would be the commercial portion of the planned 3.2-acre affordable workforce housing development located across the street.
âIâm hearing people are interested. I hope so. Thatâs great,â Veliz said about redeveloping the diesel plant complex that runs along Fort and Angela streets in Bahama Village.
Key West may have found a partner for a proposed affordable housing development in Bahama Village that has been stuck in a vacuum for more than 17 years.
