BACKGROUND
EXHIBIT A
CITY OF TUKWILA
1990 CDBG PROGRAM POLICIES
The City of Tukwila was born on a hill which the Indians called Tukwila: "A
place where hazelnuts grow." Incorporated in 1908 on 418 acres of land adjacent
to what is not known as Interurban Avenue, the City slowly increased its popula-
tion to 1,000, then declined to 800 by 1950, with no increase in size. Then an
ambitious annexation program (10 annexations from September 1957 to August 1959)
added 1,739 acres, expanding the City to about 4.5 square miles. In 1985
annexations added approximately 900 new residents to the City, and in 1989 four
annexations increased the population to over 12,000.
The location of a major regional shopping center, Southcenter, surrounded by
several large industrial parks, and major Boeing facilities has created more
development pressures. Planning for transportation services; surface water
facilities; open space /parks; housing needs; and other growth problems need to
be addressed.
During 1989 the Block Grant Office and Tukwila will work to identify low and
moderate income areas and other potential needed services for the "old" and
"new" areas of the enlarged City.
The City has unmet needs in the following general areas of CDBG eligible activi-
ties:
1. Planning activities.
2. Parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities.
3. Public services.
4. Rehabilitation of infrastructure.
5. Removal of architectural barriers.
6. Housing rehabilitation.
7. Economic development.
PROGRAM POLICIES
The City of Tukwila will establish project and service activities on an annual
basis. The development of each specific project and service activity will be
initiated within the following policy guidelines:
1. The majority of the project beneficiaries should be
low /moderate income persons.
2. Priority will be given to projects that serve the largest
number of citizens.
3. The City may allocate a portion of the funds to King County
for housing rehabilitation programs.
4. Preference will be given to capital improvement projects in
income areas that benefit low and moderate income residents.
5. Research the availability of low income housing.
