3. Resolution of Support for the Revised Route 31 Tax Increment Financing District
Façade Grant Program Guidelines
The guidelines set forth explain who is eligible for the TIF assistance. There is a $20,000 match program at 50% and $10,000 for sign replacement at no match. This was brought before the operations committee on May 7th for discussion about including demolition as an eligible expense that could be applied to the TIF Façade Grant Program. There is some amended language. Staff is looking to include demolition for structures that are considered a visual blight. Also, include the removal of nonconforming single family homes. When demolishing a home from a TIF Increment, the Village loses some of the TIF increment that might be generated from that house.
Motion for approval made by Trustee Guethle and seconded by Trustee Lowery. Roll Call Vote: Trustee Guethle – yes, Trustee Carroll – yes, Trustee Lowery – yes, Trustee Gaffino – yes. Motion approved (4-0).
