That working relationship has helped our organizations to identify opportunities and resolve problems, and together we are creating value for our constituents. Recent accomplishments in NERA include an interlocal agreement that led to constructing an innovative regional stormwater system and related water quality improvements, a new public trail with educational opportunities, and planned areas for new Airport Industrial development. We have also jointly applied for an approximately $5 million FAA grant for future infrastructure design work in NERA, and we are eagerly and confidently awaiting word confirming the grant will be approved. These improvements and positive regional economic conditions have led to strong market interest in NERA for City-owned and Port-owned properties. Our agencies can take advantage now of this positive combination of factors by taking actions to open these planned properties to new development. I am pleased to say that the market is already responding to Burien's efforts in this regard. Stephanie Bowman, Co-President Courtney Gregoire, Co-President Port of Seattle Commission i June 23, 2015 Page 2 of 2 We encourage the Port of Seattle to promptly and actively market your properties in NERA as soon as practical. Doing so will help revitalize NERA into a vibrant job center that will benefit our region for years to come, consistent with the City of Burien's comprehensive land use vision and the Port's Century Agenda. If you have questions, please contact Burien City Manager Kamuron Guroi at 206-248-5503. Since rely, Lucy Krakowiak Mayor Cc: Ted Fick, CEO, Port of Seattle Mark Reis, Managing Director, Sea-Tac Airport Burien City Councilmembers Kamuron Gurol, Burien City Manager Lcha
