The act also requires the executive director of the department of personnel to engage with governmental and affected community stakeholders to create a site plan to support transit-oriented development at the Burnham Yard rail property site and potential recommendations for how to suballocate parcels for various beneficial uses at the site. The executive director, in consultation with the governmental stakeholders, is also required to actively reach out to and listen to the opinions of affected community stakeholders and citizens regarding all stages of the development of the Burnham Yard rail property and identify any additional or already engaged stakeholders who may have an interest in developing the suballocated parcels for the best use. The site plan must consider various specified types of development opportunities and uses for the site, must promote the development and operation of quality public private partnership opportunities, must include a well-defined framework to facilitate collaboration between public and private entities in infrastructure development and operation, and must enable investment of public and private capital.
