Public Information Officer, Pam Spencer, offered the following summary of the presentation:
"City Block Development Agreement (vote August 11)
The Paducah Board of Commissioners introduced an ordinance to approve a development agreement
between the City and Weyland Ventures Development, LLC for the City Block project. This project
includes the development of a hotel, parking, open space, and mixed-use residential buildings located
July 28, 2020
on the 2.88 -acre city -owned block bounded by Second Street, Broadway, North Water Street, and
Jefferson Street. Bill Weyland and Barry Alberts with Weyland Ventures provided an overview of the
company and its various projects including several projects completed in Louisville, Kentucky, and
Dayton, Ohio. Alberts stated that Weyland Ventures likes Paducah and would like to do more projects
after investing $21 million in the City Block project.
In April 2019, the City and Weyland entered into a pre -development agreement for each party to
undertake various site due diligence for the project including numerous stakeholder meetings, market
and financial analysis, project development and design, environmental review and geotechnical
analysis, and parking analysis.
Under this development agreement, the project is divided into two construction phases. The city -
owned block is divided into three tracts with Weyland purchasing the two smaller tracts (Tract 1 and
Tract 3). The middle tract (Tract 2) is the largest which will remain under city ownership for parking
and open space.
The first phase includes Weyland purchasing Tract 1 for $141,000 for the construction of a 4 '/z story
boutique hotel, with the final site plan showing 84 rooms, along Jefferson Street. Weyland will invest
a minimum of $12 million in the hotel. The City will review the design of the hotel to ensure the
design fits the fabric of the historic downtown. Also, during this first phase, Weyland will provide
improvements to Tract 2 (the middle tract) to create green space, open space, and parking with the
final site plan depicting 172 parking spaces. At this time, this parking lot offers 213 spaces. The City
will retain ownership of Tract 2 and will reimburse Weyland for the development expenses.
The second phase of this development is the construction of two mixed-use commercial and residential
buildings along Broadway on Tract 3. Weyland will purchase Tract 3 for $155,000 and will invest a
minimum of $9 million into this phase. Phase 2 could include approximately 18,000 square feet in
commercial space with up to 48 upper -story residential units."
