CRDA nod for ₹1,052 cr. infrastructure works in Amaravati Govt. Complex area
The 49th meeting of the CRDA (Capital Region Development Authority) chaired by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has approved the proposal to invite tenders worth ₹1,052 crore for providing infrastructure in 1,450 acres of the Amaravati Government Complex area. Disclosing the details to the media here on Friday, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister P. Narayana said it was decided to invite tenders worth ₹682 crore to connect the Seed Access Road to National Highway-16. During a visit to Uttar Pradesh, a study was conducted in Lucknow on how the river bund was constructed there and how their solid waste plants operate. U.P. officials have also expressed willingness to come here to study the solid waste plants, he said. The Minister said discussions were held with experts regarding the development of the Green and Blue City. The Government City will house major institutions, including a seven-storey High Court, a 50-storey Secretariat, and four 42-storey HOD (Heads of Departments) towers. Green-blue capital It may be recalled that the State government plans to develop Amaravati as India's first green-blue capital, and 30% of Amaravati's area is reserved for greenery and water bodies. The government aims to meet 30% of its projected 2,700 MW energy demand through solar and wind power. Solar panels will be mandatory on one-third of government buildings. Features include GIS-based land management, smart signage, an ICT command centre, and mobile apps for grievance redressal. The CRDA has already approved tenders worth ₹1,732.31 crore for constructing residential towers for gazetted and non-gazetted government employees in the core capital area in Amaravati. The key approvals include ₹514.41 crore for completing towers for gazetted officers (originally initiated during 2014–2019), ₹194.73 crore for external infrastructure works, ₹506.67 crore for nine towers for non-gazetted employees, and ₹517.10 crore for constructing 12 additional towers and related amenities.

How $2 million in public funding could help a CT site needed for future major development
A key piece of funding needed for tearing down a blighted, vacant Connecticut structure appears poised to fall into place. It's near Dunkin' Park, part of the city of Hartford's plan to build an applied artificial intelligence center and other development on the property. A committee of the Capital Region Development Authority recently backed a request from the city to transfer $2 million in city funds managed by CRDA to the demolition of the deteriorating, former data processing center on Windsor Street. The full CRDA board must still approve the transfer from a stalled, mixed-use development in Parkville, but typically committee approval leads to backing by the full board. The city expects a $6 million state grant to largely cover the estimated, $9.4 million cost of knocking down the former bank procession center at 150 Windsor St. The city has another $1.4 million set aside for the demolition. The bunker-like structure is a clearly visible, familiar site to those attending Dunkin' Park, the city's minor league ballpark. Derek Peterson, CRDA's senior underwriter, told the housing and neighborhood development committee that the $29 million Parkville development — 57 apartments and a 400-space garage — had run into trouble pulling together financing. The CRDA funding was approved in 2023. 'Two years later. I'd say, these projects have moved away from us,' Peterson said. 'Unfortunately, in terms of budgets and borrowing costs, as well as other city projects presenting themselves as ready to go, and public financing is needed. And that includes the demolition of the data center at 150 Windsor St.' Peterson said, 'the idea is really to make way for other economic development projects as that building comes down.' The developer of the apartments and parking garage at 17 and 35 Bartholomew Ave., Carlos Mouta, told The Courant that the project is essential to future growth in Parkville because it will provide sorely needed parking, already at a premium in the neighborhood. But Mouta said he understood the need for pulling the funding for the downtown project, as long as it become available again in the future for the development in Parkville, given the need for parking. In addition, Mouta is trying to close a financing gap for a much, $90 million conversion of a former factory at the corner of Bartholomew Avenue and Hamilton Street into apartments. The city's request to CRDA would unwind financing approvals totaling $8.2 million for the housing and parking garage projects at 17 and 35 Bartholomew Ave., a combination of city and CRDA funds. After taking out the $2 million to tear down the Windsor Street structure, the balance would be used for future projects, according to a proposal that will now be considered by the full board. The demolition of 150 Windsor Street would clear the way for the artificial intelligence center, if the city is chosen for up to $50 million from the state's 'Innovation Clusters' program. Hartford is one of three anchor cities that are finalists for the funding. The $100 million program is aimed at strengthening Connecticut's economy through innovation, partnering with the private sector to building employment, boost vibrancy and develop ecosystems that are seen as essential to future economic development. The Windsor Street processing center site has always been considered as part of the larger, North Crossing redevelopment around Dunkin's Park. North Crossing's developer has shown support for the AI center, perhaps adding a boutique hotel to diversify beyond the hundreds of apartments built or are now under construction in the area. In addition to Hartford, New Haven and Stamford also are finalists. A decision from the state on the Innovation Clusters funding is expected early this summer. Kenneth R.

Rs 450 cr for water supply to MTMC
Vijayawad: The state government has approved a Comprehensive Water Supply Improvement Scheme for the entire jurisdiction of the Mangalagiri Tadepalli Municipal Corporation (MTMC), aiming to ensure safe and sustainable drinking water supply to all urban and peri-urban areas under its administration. The scheme will cater to the erstwhile Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) of Mangalagiri and Tadepalli, as well as 15 newly merged villages (excluding six villages proposed for merger with the Capital Region Development Authority), said S Suresh Kumar, Principal Secretary to Government, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department. The MTMC was formed by merging the municipalities of Mangalagiri and Tadepalli with 21 adjoining villages. A previous water supply project funded by the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with a sanctioned amount of Rs 221.52 crore had made partial progress due to funding limitations, leaving key infrastructure incomplete—particularly in the newly merged areas. To address these gaps, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) has now been prepared for a comprehensive water supply scheme using Krishna River as the source. The plan includes intake and treatment facilities, distribution networks for both the newly merged villages and unserved areas of the erstwhile ULBs, and the completion of pending works under the AIIB scheme. The total estimated project cost is Rs 450.24 crore, which will be funded as follows: Rs 287.54 crore under the Urban Infrastructure Development Fund (UIDF) for completing works in the former ULBs, Rs 51.20 crore under AMRUT 2.0 for core infrastructure components, Rs 111.50 crore for the extension of water supply to the 15 merged villages, to be funded through the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA). The Engineer-in-Chief (PH) (FAC), PH & ME Department, had sought administrative sanction and fund allocation for the Rs 111.50 crore CRDA component. The government has now issued the necessary approval to proceed with implementation. The scheme is designed to meet water supply needs up to the year 2056, based on projected population growth, and marks a significant step toward equitable urban infrastructure development in Andhra Pradesh, said Suresh Kumar.
