Description
In 2009, the Home Depot Foundation created the Sustainable Cities Institute (SCI) and
committed $400 million over ten years to affordable housing and urban forestry projects.
The SCI Pilot Cities program is the next phase of the Foundation's effort to support the
development of sustainable communities. This program is comprised of sustainability -related
experts who will serve as an on -the -ground resource to a city in the development and/or
implementation of a project or initiative that exemplifies this holistic, long-term approach to
sustainability planning and implementation which in turn will lead to a safer, healthier city.
Fayetteville was one of thirty-seven cities invited to submit a letter of intent to become a SCI
Pilot City. On May 21St the City was short-listed based on its initial application as one of eight
cities to submit a full proposal. If awarded, this designation will include a $500,000 grant with
additional fundraising support from the Home Depot Foundation to complete the following:
• An affordable housing project in the community,
• development of a sustainability initiative, and
• an assessment of current sustainability efforts.
The City has chosen to partner with the National Center for Appropriate Technology as the
lead non-profit for this grant. NCAT has extensive national experience with the development of
affordable housing projects, and one of its regional offices is located in the Walker Building on
Center Street in Fayetteville.
Affordable Housing Project
Project partners also include Partners for Better Housing (PBH), which owns 7.5 acres in the
Walker Park Neighborhood to develop the Houses at Willow Bend. Through a request for
qualifications process, PBH hired Community by Design to design the Willow Bend Project. A
portion of the initial grant dollars will go towards a design that will incorporate a holistic
approach to sustainable design including energy efficient homes, eco -friendly materials, and a
low impact footprint on the existing property.
Sustainability Initiatives
Given the City Council's unanimous support for the Low Impact Development (LID) ordinance,
the City has chosen a LID technical engineering manual as one of two sustainability initiatives.
This manual will define the calculations necessary to design LID projects in Fayetteville for
both City and private -sector engineers.
The second initiative will tie the Walker Park Neighborhood to the City's main trail system by
constructing a spur from Frisco Trail at the Mill District.
Budget Impact
The SCI Pilot Cities grant requires a $50,000 match. Within the existing Trail bond and the
Nutrient Reduction Plan we have identified $100,000 that will qualify as match for the grant
without changing the original intent of the budgeted items. By providing double the match it
also provides a more attractive grant proposal.
Finally, any new money that is received for the purpose of trail construction has a strong
potential for a one to one match by the Walton Family Foundation.
