Wheat Rid2e Center Planned Commercial Develoument Alan White presented tentative plans for redevelopment of the southwest corner of 38th and Wadsworth. The Elway dealership plans to relocate to the southem ponion of the property and the northern portion of the property, presently leased by the Elway dealership, would then be developed as a planned commercial development with retail/office/residential uses. A fozmal application is expected within the next few months. The developers for the northern position of the properiy will probably ask for expansion of the urban renewal azea and/or the approval of an ESTIP agreement.

Much of the successcan be amibuted to the street-scape ~yy,~ renovation of the CLOSE-UP culturally satu- rated Santa Fe Drive district, a strip stretching from Third Avenue to 13th Avenue.

Facade renovations began in 1995 and gave store fronts face-lifrs they needed to provide an attractiveshopping environment and culnual area for Denver residents. Funding for facade improvements comes from the Mayor's Office of Eco- nomic Development, as part of its Neighborhood Business Revitalization program. Property owners whose busi- nesses arc eligible in designated districts are encouraged to apply for 10-year, low-interest loans from the Mayor's Office to fix aging business exteriors. Over the pnst four years, improve- ments have been made to the facades of 20 buildings along Santa Fe Drive, and the number is still growing. "Once we got a couple of businesses going, the momentum really began to take off;" Addleman said.
