Review of Annual Report for US Rt. 34 & Il Rt. 47 Countryside and Downtown
Redevelopment Project Areas
Rob Fredrickson presented figures and a summary of the Countryside TIF. Mr. Olson
added that bond service payments are being made since the NGC Theater was built. If
bond payments are able to be completed with outlot development, the bond can be closed
out early. Many types of development are being pursued at this time.
A summary and review of figures of the Downtown TIF's were also presented by Mr.
Fredrickson. Three to four redevelopment agreements were approved for the downtown,
however, only one is generating money at this time. The current TIF in the downtown
ends in 2029 which is not enough time to incentivize a developer to coordinate a major
redevelopment project. The City Council reviewed this recently and determined that
$500,000 would first be needed for environmental cleanup. TIF extensions are done by
the State and are a maximum of 12 years. Other government bodies must approve before
the State will consider the extension. If the extension is desired, Mr. Olson said action
must be taken. He will put all this information in writing and send to each member of the
Review Board. Attorney Orr will prepare a Resolution in hopes that there will be support
from the Board.
There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 3:30pm.
