Redevelopment Project II of the North Independence Tax Increment Financing Plan was never completed.  This ordinance formally terminates Redevelopment Project II, places the project area back on the tax rolls at full value and allows the City to close out the special allocation fund account for the project.    
Background:

On May 15, 2000, the City Council approved the North Independence Tax Increment Financing Plan and approved two projects under such TIF Plan.  Redevelopment Project I, the Winterstone Golf Course, was completed in 2006.  Redevelopment Project II, which was to be an underground industrial park with related public improvements, was never completed.  The City terminated the developer’s rights to tax increment financing for Redevelopment Project II in a letter dated February 1, 2013, citing failure to develop the project in the required timeframe.  This ordinance formally terminates Redevelopment Project II, places the area of such project back on the tax rolls at full value and allows the City to close out the special allocation fund account for such project.    



Fiscal Impact:

No immediate fiscal Impact. When area develops the City would benefit from property taxes.
