RENAISSANCE:  NEWSPEAK FOR TAX GRAB/SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

6/21/2012

 
'RENAISSANCE DOWNTOWNS' is the name for a corporation that is all over the US 'helping' cities redevelop their downtown areas. Actually they call themselves 'Authenticity and Quality of Life.' This company partners with the American Planning Association, the Urban Land Institute, the Congress for New Urbanism, and others to figure out ways to grab federal and state dollars to implement Smart Growth.  They put on dog and pony shows (visioning meetings) and convince people that indebting themselves for 20-45 years in order to put in quaint lamp posts and wide sidewalks in the downtown area is going to be an economic driver.  Then Renaissance Downtowns will 'assist' in directing your tax dollars to developers who play ball with the Smart Growth model.  Renaissance keeps plenty for themselves too.  This is a manipulation that keeps UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development alive and eating at your town.  You may have new streetlights but you'll be in debt for 2 generations paying off bonds that funded big developers.  Sustainable!  Take a look at California for the real truth on redevelopment.  It bankrupts cities.


Here's what they say on their website:                    Straight out of the Sustainable Development playbook. http://www.renaissancedowntowns.com/approach.php 

Comprehensive Planning as a Tool to Attract Funding:
Another critical component of a comprehensive approach to downtown planning and redevelopment is the increased opportunity to receive significant federal funding assistance for efforts that could range from the construction of structured parking, rehab/revitalization of historic buildings, economic development grants and significant pools of money to enable the successful implementation of large scale, well planned and coordinated downtown redevelopment efforts. Such a comprehensive approach also provides a tremendous advantage for communities that are looking to institute or reinstitute rail service to their downtown.

The federal government has formed an interagency partnership that includes HUD, USDOT, USEPA, Federal Transit Administration and Federal Railroad Administration amongst other groups to jointly review grant applications. Renaissance has been involved in these discussions, including participation on panels that include high ranking members of the aforementioned agencies. The Presidential Administration and Congress, through their Sustainable Communities initiative amongst other efforts, is looking to award federal dollars to large scale, smart growth redevelopment efforts, especially those that focus on transit oriented development within our nation's downtowns. Their goal is to see significant returns on public investments that include job and economic growth, social benefits for communities and regions along with environmental benefits. With this in mind, a comprehensive downtown redevelopment designed to meet these objectives stands a far greater chance of receiving significant funding dollars and/or resumption of rail than smaller, isolated efforts. In short, the government is not looking to provide just streetscape grants and sidewalk benches - they are looking for transformative projects focused on our nation's downtowns that will serve the triple bottom line of social, economic and environmental responsibility.

An example of how to successfully leverage private investment to procure significant funding is Renaissance's Glen Cove Waterfront Redevelopment plan, which has garnered nearly 140 Million dollars in public funding for infrastructure and remediation work, along with funding slated for the construction of the City's ferry terminal. The concept utilizing private investment as a catalyst to attract federal dollars is an additional benefit to large scale, comprehensive downtown redevelopment efforts.

    And the winner is...

    What is UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development?
    It is the blueprint, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century to inventory and control all land, all water, all plants, all minerals, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all law enforcement, all health care, all food, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world
    .

    Your energy consumption will be controlled until you can't farm, can't manufacture, can't travel, can't fish, can't use your land. Productivity and businesses are limited now.

    You've heard that story about Tony Blair asking Angela Merkel how Germany could have such a high GDP when it was such a small country.  Merkel snapped at him: We still make things in Germany, Mr. Blair.
