SEATTLE — Seattle Housing Authority received a $678,000 grant from The Kresge Foundation for an art master plan as part of the redevelopment of Yesler Terrace in Seattle.
SHA will use the funds to work with teams designing streets, pathways, parks and other public spaces.
Artisans living in Yesler Terrace will also get help through the grant.
A Seattle University program that trains youth in filmmaking will help document the transformation of Yesler Terrace.
SHA plans to recruit a part-time administrator for the art master plan and issue a request for proposals this year.
Yesler Terrace could have as many as 5,000 housing units, 900,000 square feet of office space, and 153,000 square feet of retail and community space.
