Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness and the grant shall not
exceed the amount of Project Costs as certified pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Redevelopment
Contract. Such grants shall be made to the Redeveloper upon certification of Project Costs for as
set forth herein and in the Resolution, and payment purchase of the Indebtedness as provided in
Section 3.02, unless Redeveloper elects to offset the payment of the purchase of the Indebtedness
with the grant proceeds as provided herein and in the Resolution. The Authority shall have no
obligation to provide grant funds from any source other than as set forth in the Resolution and
this Redevelopment Contract.
Section 3.05 Creation of Funds.
In the Resolution, the Authority has provided for the creation of the following funds and
accounts which funds shall be held by the Authority separate and apart from all other funds and
moneys of the Authority and the City:
(a) a special trust fund called the “3MJR Redevelopment Project Note Fund” (the “Note Fund”).
All of the TIF Revenues shall be deposited into the Note Fund. The TIF Revenues accumulated in
the Note Fund shall be used and applied on the Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date (i)
to make any payments to the City or the Authority as may be required under the Redevelopment
Contract and (ii) to pay principal of or interest on the Note to the extent of any money then
remaining the Note Fund on such Interest Payment Date. Money in the Note Fund shall be used
solely for the purposes described herein and in the Resolution. All Revenues received through and
including December 31, 2049, shall be used solely for the payments required herein and by the
Resolution; and
(b) a special trust fund called the “3MJR Redevelopment Project Fund” (the “Project Fund”)
The Authority shall disburse any money on deposit in the Project Fund from time to time to pay or
as reimbursement for payment made for the Project Costs in each case within 5 Business Days after
completion of the steps set forth herein and in the Resolution. If a sufficient amount to pay a
properly completed Disbursement Request (as defined in Section 4.02) is not in the Project Fund at
the time of the receipt by the Authority of such request, the Authority shall notify the owner of the
Note and such owner may deposit an amount sufficient to pay such request with the Authority for
such payment. As set forth in the Resolution, if the Redeveloper is the owner of the Note and the
Redeveloper so elects, the Authority shall make a grant to Redeveloper in the amount of an
approved Disbursement Request; in such event, the approved Disbursement Request amount shall
offset funding of the Note.

ARTICLE VI
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 27 / 162
3MJR LLC Contract Area 32 Contract Page 13
DEFAULT, REMEDIES; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 General Remedies of Authority and Redeveloper.
Subject to the further provisions of this Article VI, in the event of any failure to perform
or breach of this Redevelopment Contract or any of its terms or conditions, by any party hereto
or any successor to such party, such party, or successor, shall, upon written notice from the other,
proceed immediately to commence such actions as may be reasonably designed to cure or
remedy such failure to perform or breach which cure or remedy shall be accomplished within a
reasonable time by the diligent pursuit of corrective action. In case such action is not taken, or
diligently pursued, or the failure to perform or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a
reasonable time, this Redevelopment Contract shall be in default and the aggrieved party may
institute such proceedings as may be necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under this
Redevelopment Contract, including, but not limited to, proceedings to compel specific
performance by the party failing to perform or in breach of its obligations. The Redeveloper
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have completed its required
performances and satisfied all of its obligations under this Redevelopment Contract upon the
issuance of the Indebtedness and the subsequent payment of grant amounts to the Redeveloper as
set forth in Article III hereof and by complying with the obligations of all Redevelopment
Contract Amendments.
Section 6.02 Additional Remedies of Authority
In the event that (each such event an "event of default"):
(a) the Redeveloper, or its successor in interest, shall fail to commence the
construction of the infrastructure improvements included in the Project Costs on or before
August 1, 2022 or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once
commenced, for any period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather,
(b) the Redeveloper, shall fail to pay real estate taxes or assessments on the
Redevelopment Project Property owned by the Redeveloper or any part thereof when due;
and
(c) there is a violation of any other provision of this Redevelopment Contract,
and such failure or action by the Redeveloper has not been cured within 90 days following
written notice from Authority, then the Redeveloper shall be in default of this
Redevelopment Contract.
In the event of such failure to perform, breach or default occurs and is not cured in the
period herein provided, the parties agree that the damages caused to the Authority would be
difficult to determine with certainty and that a reasonable estimation of the amount of damages
that could be incurred is the amount of the grant to Redeveloper pursuant to Section 3.04 of this
Redevelopment Contract, less any reductions in the principal amount of the Indebtedness, plus
interest on such amounts as provided herein (the "Liquidated Damages Amount"). Upon the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 28 / 162
3MJR LLC Contract Area 32 Contract Page 14
occurrence of an event of default, the Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid by Redeveloper
to Authority within 30 days of demand from Authority given to the Redeveloper.
Interest shall accrue on the Liquidated Damages Amount at the rate of three percent (3%)
per annum and interest shall commence from the date that the Authority gives notice to the
Redeveloper demanding payment.
Payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount shall not relieve Redeveloper of its
obligation to pay real estate taxes or assessments with respect to the Redevelopment Project
Property and the Project.
Redeveloper, on or before contracting for work included within the Project Costs, shall
furnish to the Authority copies of labor and materials payment bonds and performance bonds for
each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs. Each such bond shall show
the Authority and the City as well as the Redeveloper as beneficiary of any such bond, as and to
the extent commercially obtainable (as determined in the discretion of the Authority). In
addition, the Redeveloper shall provide a penal bond with good and sufficient surety to be
approved by the Authority, conditioned that the Redeveloper shall at all times promptly make
payments of all amounts lawfully due to all persons supplying or furnishing to any contractor or
his or her subcontractors (for each contract entered into by Redeveloper related to Project Costs)
with labor or materials performed or used in the prosecution of the work provided for in such
contract, and will indemnify and save harmless the Authority to the extent of any payments in
connection with the carrying out of such contracts which the Authority may be required to make
under the law.
Section 6.03 Remedies in the Event of Other Redeveloper Defaults.
In the event the Redeveloper fails to perform any other provisions of this Redevelopment
Contract (other than those specific provisions contained in Section 6.02), the Redeveloper shall
be in default. In such an instance, the Authority may seek to enforce the terms of this
Redevelopment Contract or exercise any other remedies that may be provided in this
Redevelopment Contract or by applicable law; provided, however, that any defaults covered by
this Section shall not give rise to a right or rescission on termination of this Redevelopment
Contract, and shall not be covered by the Liquidated Damages Amount.
Section 6.04 Forced Delay Beyond Party's Control.
For the purposes of any of the provisions of this Redevelopment Contract, neither the
Authority nor the Redeveloper, as the case may be, nor any successor in interest, shall be
considered in breach of or default in its obligations with respect to the conveyance or preparation
of the Redevelopment Area or any part thereof for redevelopment, or the beginning and
completion of construction of the Project, or progress in respect thereto, in the event of forced
delay in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and
without its fault or negligence, including, but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public
enemy, acts of the Government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather or delays in subcontractors
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 29 / 162
3MJR LLC Contract Area 32 Contract Page 15
due to such causes; it being the purpose and intent of this provision that in the event of the
occurrence of any such forced delay, the time or times for performance of the obligations of the
Authority or of the Redeveloper with respect to construction of the Project, as the case may be,
shall be extended for the period of the forced delay: Provided, that the party seeking the benefit
of the provisions of this section shall, within thirty (30) days after the beginning of any such
forced delay, have first notified the other party thereto in writing, and of the cause or causes
thereof and requested an extension for the period of the forced delay.
Section 6.05 Limitations of Liability; Indemnification.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI or this Redevelopment Contract to the
contrary, neither the City, the Authority, nor their respective elected officials, officers, directors,
appointed officials, employees, agents or their governing bodies shall have any pecuniary
obligation or monetary liability under this Redevelopment Contract. The sole obligation of the
Authority under this Redevelopment Contract shall be the issuance of the Indebtedness and
granting of a portion of the proceeds thereof to Redeveloper, and full compliance with the terms
specifically set forth Article III hereof and payment of TIF Revenues pledged pursuant to the
Resolution. The Redeveloper releases the City and Authority from, agrees that neither the City
nor Authority shall be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold the City and Authority
harmless from any liability for any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any
person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project.
The Redeveloper will indemnify and hold each of the City and Authority and their
respective elected officials, directors, officers, appointed officials, agents, employees and
members of their governing bodies free and harmless from any loss, claim, damage, demand, tax,
penalty, liability, disbursement, expense, excluding litigation expenses, attorneys' fees and
expenses, or court costs arising out of any damage or injury, actual or claimed, of whatsoever
kind or character, to property (including loss of use thereof) or persons, occurring or allegedly
occurring in, on or about that portion of the Project owned by the Redeveloper, during the term
of this Redevelopment Contract or arising out of any action or inaction of Redeveloper, related to
activities of the Redeveloper or its agents during the construction of the public infrastructure or
public right of ways in the Project.

This Note is issued by the Authority under the authority of and in full compliance with the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Nebraska, including particularly Article VIII, Section 12 of the
Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2153, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as

The principal of and interest hereon shall not be payable from the general funds of the City nor the
Authority nor shall this Note constitute a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien, security interest or
encumbrance upon any of the property or upon any of the income, receipts, or money and securities of the
City or the Authority or of any other party other than those specifically pledged under the Resolution. This
Note is not a debt of the City or the Authority within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter
limitation upon the creation of general obligation indebtedness of the City or the Authority, and does not
impose any general liability upon the City or the Authority and neither the City nor the Authority shall be
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 37 / 162
3MJR LLC Contract Area 32 Contract Page 23
liable for the payment hereof out of any funds of the City or the Authority other than the Revenues and other

principal amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the
Table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Trustee as to the principal amount
issued and principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding
Principal Amount of this Note for all purposes.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City
Clerk, and to all of the provisions of which each Owner of this Note by its acceptance hereof hereby assents,

Note; the nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon which the
Resolution may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the Owner of this Note; the
rights, duties and obligations of the Authority and the Registrar thereunder; the terms and provisions upon
which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and covenants made therein may be discharged at or prior to the
maturity or redemption of this Note, and this Note thereafter no longer be secured by the Resolution or be
deemed to be outstanding thereunder, if money or certain specified securities shall have been deposited with
the Registrar sufficient and held in trust solely for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and
provisions thereof.
This Note is subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in
part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued
interest on such principal amount to the date fixed for redemption. Reference is hereby made to the
Resolution for a description of the redemption procedures and the notice requirements pertaining thereto.
In the event this Note is called for prior redemption, notice of such redemption shall be given by
first-class mail to the Registered Owner hereof at its address as shown on the registration books maintained
by the Registrar not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, unless waived by the Registered
Owner hereof. If this Note, or any portion thereof, shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of
such redemption duly given as provided, then upon such redemption date the portion of this Note so
redeemed shall become due and payable and if money for the payment of the portion of the Note so
redeemed and the accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption shall be held for the purpose of
such payment by the Registrar, interest shall cease to accrue and become payable hereon from and after the
redemption date.
This Note is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof in person or by its attorney or legal
representative duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Registrar, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Resolution, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer, a new Note of the same series and maturity and for the

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 32
September 2021
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 32 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 32.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 26 ACRES OF PROPERTY
LOCATED BETWEEN WEST OF NORTH ROAD AND SOUTH OF OLD POTASH
HIGHWAY NORTHWEST GRAND ISLAND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 192
UNITS OF 55 PLUS AGE RESTRICTED HOUSING IN THREE AND FIVE UNIT
BUILDINGS.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in redevelopment expenses associated with
platting and installing the necessary infrastructure (streets, sanitary sewer, water, and
storm sewer) for the development of 192 units of age restricted housing in 48 three and
five unit buildings on property being platted as Jaxson Subdivision in northwest Grand
Island. The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan
and necessary to make this project affordable. The 2020 Housing Study for the City of
Grand Island identified a need of 222 owner occupied and 237 rental units for the 55+
population by 2024. This project with rents commensurate with market conditions would
not be possible without the use of Tax Increment Financing.
3MJR LLC – has an option to purchase this property that will expire in November of
2021 if the project is not approved. The developer is responsible for and has provided
evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with
the construction of units. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA)
intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods beginning
January 1, 2022 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for the
development of this property.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Legal Descriptions: Property being platted as Jaxson Subdivision in the City of Grand
Island, Hall County, Nebraska. Parcel Number 400200929
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 47 / 162
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 48 / 162
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2022 through 2049 inclusive. The TIF contract will be
structured so it can be amended each year for up to twelve years to add the housing
units to be completed during that year. No single property will be eligible for TIF
for a period of more than 15 years.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from development of the
property for residential uses and the construction of three and five unit buildings
for persons 55 and older.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract or any amendment to the redevelopment contract, consistent
with this Redevelopment Plan. The plan anticipates that each phase of the development
will constitute new effective date for the purposes of determining the period of fifteen
years. Said taxes shall be divided as follows:
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 49 / 162
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on June 22, 2021.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in
the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for
the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by
the current and effective zoning regulations. The Hall County Regional Planning
Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on October 6, 2021 and passed
Resolution 2021-01 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted
a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project
involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the
District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment prior to it being
submitted to the CRA for initial consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 32 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area
around the site in private ownership is planned for low to medium density residential
development. This property is in private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The
attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 50 / 162
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 51 / 162
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned LLR Large Lot Residential but the future land use map calls for low to
medium density residential. The applicant has submitted a plan for a residential
development zone that would not exceed the density allowed in the medium density
zoning district (14 units per acre on 26 acres would be 364 units). The plan for the
residential development zone will be presented to planning commission and council
along with the request for TIF. New private streets are anticipated and needed to support
this project and it is anticipated that TIF revenues will offset the costs of those
improvements. No changes are anticipated in building codes or other ordinances. No
other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The proposed zoning as an RD zone allows for up to 42 units per acre if approved. The
proposed development will be 7.38 units per acre. The proposed development if approved
as submitted will meet those coverage and intensity of use requirements of the RD zone.
[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water are available to support this development. Both sanitary sewer
and water will need to be extended throughout the site. TIF revenues will be used to
offset the cost of these public utility improvements.
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this property. Electric lines,
transformers, and conduit will need to be extended throughout the property.
No other publicly owned utilities would be impacted by the development. §18-2103(b)
and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property is vacant and
has been vacant for more than 1 year; no relocation is contemplated or necessary.
[§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 52 / 162
The purchase price of the property is $780,870 as an eligible expense. The estimated
costs of utilities including sewer, water and electric is $3,054,580. The cost of grading,
and streets/trail/sidewalks and drainage is $4,289,446. Planning activities including
engineering, architecture, legal fees and government fees are estimated at $157,148. The
total of the eligible expenses for this project is estimated by the developer at over
$8,280,000.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $7,460,038 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.
TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest
after January 1, 2022 through December 2047.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan. This amendment, in
and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the
intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and blighting
conditions. This will accomplish the goal of increasing the number of residential units
within the City of Grand Island and encouraging infill development.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 53 / 162
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2022 year. The subdivision will
likely be built in six phases with approximately 8 buildings per phase and two phases at a
time. The developer is anticipating construction of 32 units per year though this may be
adjusted for market demand. It is anticipated that the units in this development will be
built in 2034 with the tax increment on those homes extending to 2049. Excess
valuation should be available for the first homes built with this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2023 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
The 2020 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2024 we would
need an additional 1361 new housing units, 222 of those should be 55+ owner occupied
and 237 should be 55+ rental units. Between January 1 of 2020 and July of 2021 permits
for 305 new housing units had bee issued. The current housing market, a combination of
the cost of producing housing and the prevailing wages, has not created a situation that
gives the markets sufficient incentive to build the number housing units required to meet
community needs. This lack of housing options impacts a variety of other areas within
the community including work force development, overcrowding, maintenance of
residential units and rents. This project will create new housing options for the 55+
citizens of Grand Island and will likely result in the sale of existing homes around the
city.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $7,460,038 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$27,654,611 in private sector financing; a private investment of $3.71 for every TIF
dollar invested.

Total $7,460,038 $27,654,611 $35,114,649
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2020,
valuation of approximately $114,694. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $2,263. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $25,805,306 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $497,000 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible
private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2020 assessed value: $ 114,694
Estimated value after completion $ 25,920,000
Increment value $ 25,805,306
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 497,336
TIF bond issue $ $7,460,038
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 55 / 162
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $114,694.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $25,805,306 over the
course of the next twelve years. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 192 additional
housing for persons 55 and older. The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total
of the bond principal of $7,460,038 if fully funded and any associated interest on the
bond to be assigned with contract approval.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development.
This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This
development is unlikely to result in a larger number of students in the Shoemaker
Elementary School service area since it is restricted to individuals 55 years old and older.
Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this
development though there will be some increased need for officers and fire fighters as the
City continues to grow whether from this project or others.
Housing of the type proposed is unlikely to attract families to the neighborhood. It is
unlikely that this housing bring additional school age children to the area.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing options for the residents of Grand Island. The
National Homebuilders Association estimated in a 2008 study that each unit of
multifamily housing resulted in 1.16 full time equivalent jobs so this development at 32
units per year would represent an additional 37 FTE’s within the city for the next six
years.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers different from any
other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight
labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing. This
development may help alleviate some of those pressures.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 56 / 162
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system and will likely not result in additional students at the elementary and
secondary school levels.
All of the units in this development will be restricted to persons 55 and over. This
housing will not provide housing for any school age children. The Grand Island Public
School System was notified on August 24, 2021 that the CRA would be considering this
application at their September 8, 2021 meeting.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand
Island to create more than 1361 new housing units, 222 of those should be 55+ owner
occupied and 237 should be 55+ rental units. Between January of 2020 and July of 2021
the City of Grand Island has issue permits for 305 housing units. The local housing
market is not capable of producing the number of units needed at market rate given the
costs of building and development.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between Spring of
2022 and the end of 2034. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2022 for the first phase with each phase based on the preceding
year’s valuation of the property included in the amendment for that year. Excess
valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2022 with taxes due in 2023.
Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the
contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years on each
property or an amount not to exceed $7,460,038 the projected amount of increment based
upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of
the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $8,200,000 on TIF
eligible activities.

Principal Amount, beginning June 1, 2023, by check or draft mailed to the Registered Owner hereof as
shown on the note registration books maintained by the Registrar on the 15th day of the month preceding

note registration books. The principal of this Note is payable in any coin or currency which on the
respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender for the payment of debts due the United States of
America.
This Note is issued by the Authority under the authority of and in full compliance with the
Constitution and statutes of the State of Nebraska, including particularly Article VIII, Section 12 of the
Nebraska Constitution, Sections 18-2101 to 18-2155, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as
amended, and under and pursuant to Resolution No. ________ duly passed and adopted by the Authority on
______________, 2021, as from time to time amended and supplemented (the “Resolution”).
THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 1
ATTACHED HERETO. THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS $7,460,038.
This Note has been issued by the Authority for the purpose of financing the costs of constructing,
reconstructing, improving, extending, rehabilitating, installing, equipping, furnishing and completing certain
improvements within the area identified and referred to as the City of Grand Island Redevelopment Plan
Amendment for Redevelopment Area #32, September 2021, (3MJR, LLC, Project) which is more
specifically described in the Resolution, and to carry out the Authority’s corporate purposes and powers in
connection therewith.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution for the provisions, among others, with respect to the
collection and disposition of certain tax and other revenues, the special funds charged with and pledged to
the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note, the nature and extent of the security thereby
created, the terms and conditions under which this Note has been issued, the rights and remedies of the
Registered Owner of this Note, and the rights, duties, immunities and obligations of the City and the
Authority. By the acceptance of this Note, the Registered Owner assents to all of the provisions of the
Resolution.
This Note is a special limited obligation of the Authority payable as to principal solely from and is
secured solely by the Tax Revenue (as defined in the Resolution) pledged under the Resolution, all on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Resolution. The Tax Revenue represents that portion of ad valorem
taxes levied by public bodies of the State of Nebraska, including the City, on real property in the Project

the levy at the rate fixed each year by or for each such public body upon the valuation of the Project Area as

The principal hereon shall not be payable from the general funds of the City nor the Authority nor
shall this Note constitute a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon any
of the property or upon any of the income, receipts, or money and securities of the City or the Authority or
of any other party other than those specifically pledged under the Resolution. This Note is not a debt of the
City or the Authority within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation upon the
creation of general obligation indebtedness of the City or the Authority, and does not impose any general
liability upon the City or the Authority and neither the City nor the Authority shall be liable for the payment
hereof out of any funds of the City or the Authority other than the Tax Revenues and other funds pledged
under the Resolution, which Tax Revenues and other funds have been and hereby are pledged to the
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution.

the Resolution under the column headed “Principal Amount Advanced” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Table”)
and may enter the aggregate principal amount of this Note then outstanding under the column headed
“Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the Table. On each date upon which a portion of the
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount is paid to the Registered Owner pursuant to the redemption
provisions of the Resolution, the Registered Owner may enter the principal amount paid on this Note under
the column headed “Principal Amount Redeemed” on the Table and may enter the then outstanding
principal amount of this Note under the column headed “Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount” on the
Table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the records maintained by the Registrar as to the principal amount
issued and principal amounts paid on this Note shall be the official records of the Cumulative Outstanding
Principal Amount of this Note for all purposes.
Reference is hereby made to the Resolution, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City
Clerk, and to all of the provisions of which each Owner of this Note by its acceptance hereof hereby assents,

Revenue pledged to the payment of the principal on this Note; the nature and extent and manner of
enforcement of the pledge; the conditions upon which the Resolution may be amended or supplemented
with or without the consent of the Owner of this Note; the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority and
the Registrar thereunder; the terms and provisions upon which the liens, pledges, charges, trusts and
covenants made therein may be discharged at or prior to the maturity or redemption of this Note, and this
Note thereafter no longer be secured by the Resolution or be deemed to be outstanding thereunder, if money
or certain specified securities shall have been deposited with the Registrar sufficient and held in trust solely
for the payment hereof; and for the other terms and provisions thereof.
This Note is subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Authority, in whole or in
part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued
interest on such principal amount to the date fixed for redemption. Reference is hereby made to the
Resolution for a description of the redemption procedures and the notice requirements pertaining thereto.
In the event this Note is called for prior redemption, notice of such redemption shall be given by
first-class mail to the Registered Owner hereof at its address as shown on the registration books maintained
by the Registrar not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, unless waived by the Registered
Owner hereof. If this Note, or any portion thereof, shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of
such redemption duly given as provided, then upon such redemption date the portion of this Note so
redeemed shall become due and payable and if money for the payment of the portion of the Note so
redeemed shall be held for the purpose of such payment by the Registrar.
This Note is transferable by the Registered Owner hereof in person or by its attorney or legal
representative duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Registrar, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Resolution, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note. Upon such transfer, a new Note of the same series and maturity and for the
same principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. The Authority and the
Registrar may deem and treat the Registered Owner hereof as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of principal of and interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
This note is being issued as a registered note without coupons. This note is subject to exchange as
provided in the Resolution.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to have
happened, to exist and to have been performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Note have happened,

outstanding hereunder and thereunder,
(a) when the any Note or portion thereof shall have been canceled, or shall have
been surrendered for cancellation or is subject to cancellation, or shall have been purchased from
money in any of the funds held under this Resolution, or
(b) if the Note or portion thereof is not canceled or surrendered for cancellation or

thereof, plus interest on such principal to the due date thereof, either (1) shall have been made or
caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (2) shall have been provided by
irrevocably depositing with the Registrar for the Note, in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively
for such payment, (A) money sufficient to make such payment or (B) Escrow Obligations maturing
as to principal in such amount and at such times as will insure the availability of sufficient money to

Provided that, with respect to any total redemption of any Note, notice of redemption shall have

notice, satisfactory in form, shall have been filed with the Registrar.
At such time as any Note or portion thereof shall no longer be outstanding hereunder, and, except
for the purposes of any such payment from such money or such Escrow Obligations, such Note or portion
thereof shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
Any such money so deposited with the Registrar for any Note or portion thereof as provided in this

Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, if money or Escrow Obligations have

paying the Notes or any portion thereof when the same becomes due, whether at maturity or upon earlier

completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Registrar to hold such money or Escrow
Obligations, without liability to the Owners, in trust for the benefit of the Owners, who thereafter shall be
restricted exclusively to such money or Escrow Obligations for any claim for such payment of whatsoever
nature on his part.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph of this Section 10.2, money or Escrow

paying agent at such date, or for five years after the date of deposit of such money, if deposited with the
Registrar after the date when such Note became due and payable, shall be paid to the Nebraska State
Treasurer and the Registrar shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto, and the Owner
thereof shall look only to the Authority for the payment thereof.

increase the size of the building and current building meets the applicable regulations
regarding site coverage and intensity of use. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. .
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this building.

6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer purchased the property for $550,000. The estimated costs of rehabilitation
of this property is $1,033,000. Other construction and soft cost is $265,000 Legal,
Developer and Audit Fees of $5,600 for reimbursement to the City and the CRA for costs
to prepare the contract and monitor the project over the course of the development are
included in the eligible expenses. The total of eligible expenses for this project exceeds
$1,873,400.

The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $522,064 from the proceeds of the TIF. This
indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project.
TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest
after January 1, 2023 through December 2038.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and
blighting conditions. This will accomplish the goal of both the Railside Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of increasing the number of
residential units available in the Downtown area and refurbish street level commercial
space that has been underutilized for several years as well as encouraging new roof top
development that will add to the ambiance of Railside.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 89 / 162
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by June 2022. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
This is an historic building in downtown Grand Island that will be preserved with this
project. The addition of new residential units is consistent with goals to build new
residential units in downtown Grand Island and with the goals of the 2020 Grand Island
housing study and Grow Grand Island. The primary use of the street level space
for commercial development is consistent with the long term development plans for
Downtown. The addition of rooftop space will further enhance the Railside experience.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $522,064 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This property has requested a Façade grant. This
investment by the Authority will leverage $1,867,800 in private sector financing; a
private investment of $3.57 for every TIF or grant dollar invested.
Use of Funds Source of Funds.
Description TIF Funds Other Grants Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition 522,064$27,936$$550,000

TOTALS $522,064 $1,351,336 $1,873,400
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 90 / 162
*Other includes soft costs for private legal services, consulting on the TIF and
construction, environmental review accounting, interest, financing fees, appraisal, title
and hazard insurance and marketing.
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2022,
valuation of approximately $340,367. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $7,408. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase
by $1,599,094 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $34,804 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2021 assessed value: $340,367
Estimated value after completion $1,939,461
Increment value $1,599,094
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$34,804
TIF bond issue $522,064
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $340,367
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $1,599,094. No tax
shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that will
support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively impacted by this development. The addition of life safety elements to this
building including fire sprinklers and a second exit actually reduce the chances of
negative impacts to the fire department.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing and commercial space options in the downtown
area consistent with the planned development in Downtown Grand Island.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 91 / 162
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. This will
provide housing options for employees of Downtown businesses that wish to live
Downtown and will refurbish Downtown commercial space.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The majority of
the units to be developed with this project is a one bedroom unit and unlikely to be
a family unit, especially for families with school age children.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010 census 19.2%
of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18. 2020 census number
for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less
than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the
averages hold it would be expected that there would be a maximum of five school age
children generated by this development though that is mitigated by the fact that that
majority of these are small 1 bedroom units. According to the National Center for
Educational Statistics the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost
per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally. The Grand Island
Public School System was notified on November 4, 2021 that the CRA would be
considering this application at their November 10, 2021 meeting.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the Council, the Downtown BID, the CRA, and
Grow Grand Island to create additional housing units in downtown Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed June 2022. The base tax year
should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2022. Excess valuation
should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2023 with taxes due in
2024. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per
the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or
an amount not to exceed $522,064 the projected amount of increment based upon the
anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of the
expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $1,867,800.00 on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 6
June 2014 Amended November 2021
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 6 within the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure redevelopment related projects in Area 6.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT FIVE POINTS EAST OF BROADWELL
AVENUE AND NORTH OF STATE STREET BY THE DEVELOPER AND
SUBSEQUENT SITE PREPARATION, DEMOLITION, UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS,
LANDSCAPING AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY FOR BUILDING
A NEW GROCERY STORE, INLINE RETAIL SPACE AND RESTAURANT SPACE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING UP TO 70 TOWNHOUSES IN 2 AND
3 UNIT CONFIGURATIONS AT THIS THE LOCATION IDENTIFIED.
The use of Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) to aid in the acquisition of property,
demolition of existing structures, necessary site work and installation of public utilities
and street improvements necessary to redevelop this site. The use of TIF makes it feasible
to complete all of the phases of the proposed project within the timeline presented. This
project could not be completed without the use of TIF.
The acquisition, site work and construction of all improvements will be paid for by the
developer. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can
secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with the acquisition, site
work and remodeling. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA)
intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over the 15 year period beginning
January 1, 2016 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for the acquisition
and site work for the development of the grocery store. The CRA intends to pledge the
ad valorem taxes generated up to 15 years for each of the proposed townhomes on the
expanded site.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE ACQUISTION OF THE
PROPERTY AND RELATED SITE WORK WILL COME FROM THE
FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:

The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2017 through 2030 inclusive on the grocery store. It is
anticipated that the increment on the townhouses will be capture over a period not
to exceed 20 years with no portion extending over 15 years beginning in 2023.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from the construction of new
commercial space on this property.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
Pursuant to Section 18-2147 of the Act, any ad valorem tax levied upon real property in
the Redevelopment Project Area shall be divided, for the period not to exceed 15 years

Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 116 / 162
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on October 9, 2007.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment
plan amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no
changes in the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides
funding for the developer to acquire the necessary property and provide the necessary
site work for the construction of a permitted use on this property. The Hall County
Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on December 1,
2021 and passed Resolution 2022-3 confirming that this project is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School
District has submitted a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District
any time a TIF project involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is
proposed within the District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment at
the time it was submitted to the CRA for initial consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan for Area 6 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority. The applicant will be acquiring the property from the current owner.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does intend several structures along on the
subject property to be removed or demolished. The structures to be demolished are all
non-residential in nature and use. No additional structures will need to be demolished for
the development of the townhouses.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The site is
planned for commercial development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map
also is an accurate site plan of the area after redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]

City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map from Original Plan
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 118 / 162
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map for Amended Area
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 119 / 162
The area is zoned B2- General Business zone, R2 Low Density Residential and R3
Medium Density Residential.No zoning changes are anticipated with this project.No
changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades.The property identified for the
townhouse development will likely be changed to an R3 Medium Density Residential
District or R3-SL Medium Density Small Lot District and a street will be extended
through the development between State Street and Wheeler Avenue. No changes are
anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes
contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing remove all of the structures on the subject property in two
phases. The buildings on Lot 3 of Skag-Way Subdivision will be demolished and a new
grocery store will be constructed at that location, fuel pumps will be added near
Broadwell Avenue and after the construction of the new store the old store will be
demolished and the site will be prepared for additional retail and restaurant space to be
constructed at a time when the market allows for said construction. The property is zoned
B2 and could accommodate a building of up to 100% of the property. The area east of the
grocery store identified for townhouse development in this plan would be rezoned to
accommodate the development of the townhomes. An R3 or R3-SL zoning district would
allow up to 50% of each lot to be developed with buildings. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sewer and water are available to support this development. Water mains will have to be
extended throughout the site to support the configuration of the proposed development.
New water and sewer services may be required for this building. Water mains and sewer
mains will need to be extended for the townhouse development. Electric service will also
need to be extended through the area.
The developer will be responsible for replacing any sidewalks damaged during
construction of the project.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This amendment does not
provide for acquisition of any residences and therefore, no relocation is
contemplated. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106]
Barry Sandstrom, Chairman of the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority,
is President of Home Federal Bank in Grand Island and Home Federal has a branch office
and an ATM on the property. Mr. Sandstrom will recuse himself from action on this
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 120 / 162
application. As of this amendment, Mr. Sandstrom is no longer a member of the CRA and
no members of the CRA or employees hold any interest in this project.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer is proposing to purchase this property for redevelopment for $2,600,000 in
October of 2014 provided that TIF is available for the project as define. The cost of
property acquisition is being included as a TIF eligible expense. Costs for site
preparation, utility and parking improvements are estimated at $3,004,953 as related to
the demolition and site preparation are included as a TIF eligible expense. It is estimated
based on the proposed increased valuation of $4,416,000 will result in $1,600,000 of
increment generated over a 15 year period, substantially less than the TIF allowable
expenses.
Mesner Development will be acquiring the property identified for townhouses as part of
the eligible activities for this development. The TIF granted on the first project did not
cover the full cost of acquisition so the cost of Lot 2 of Skag-Way Fourth Subdivision can
be included as an eligible expense with the other properties that make this project
feasible.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $1,600,000 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax
Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to
repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2016 through December
2030 for the grocery store phase of this project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the townhouse phase of the project
as described in this amended plan. The Authority will assist the project by granting the
sum of $1,779,000 from the proceeds of the TIF Indebtedness issued by the Authority.
This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the
project. TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated
interest after January 1, 2023 through December 2043
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 121 / 162
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, in
that it will allow for the utilization of and redevelopment of commercial lots. This will
not significantly impact traffic at the Five Points intersection. New commercial
development will raise property values and provide a stimulus to keep surrounding
properties properly maintained. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring
elements of unsafe buildings and blighting conditions. New residential construction
between the grocery store and Wheeler Avenue north of Blessed Sacrament Church will
utilize property that has been in the City Limits and largely vacant for more than 60
years. This is infill development of housing near community services such as banking,
groceries, churches and existing parks.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of phase one of this project (including construction of the new grocery
store) is anticipated to be completed between October of 2014 and October of 2015.
Demolition of the existing Skagway store and preparation of the eastern portion of the
site for further development will occur after the opening of the new store. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2016 tax
year. Phase one of the project was completed as expected. Phase two including in line
retail and restaurant uses did not materialize as marketability of this property for those
purposes was not feasible. This amended plan would allow phase two to include
development of up to 70 townhouses and include additional property that was not in the
original plan.
9. Justification of Project
Skagway has been a commercial anchor for the Five Points neighborhood since the
1950’s. This redevelopment and reinvestment by AWG at this location represents a great
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 122 / 162
opportunity to strengthen and sustain this neighborhood commercial development. This is
infill development in an area with all city services available. This project does not
propose to tear down any buildings with historic value.
Phase two of this project as shown in this amended plan would add up to 70 townhouses
some potentially developed with low income housing tax credits. This would transition
the commercial node at the Five Points intersection with the residential to the north and
east of the site and provide needed housing in the community as infill development using
vacant property with the ability to extend services. At this time housing is a critical need
in Grand Island and across the state of Nebraska.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
AWG-Skagway North Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $1,600,000.00 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$14,430,000.00 in private sector financing; a private investment of $9.02 for every TIF
dollar investment.

Source of Funds
Tax Revenue Phase 1.The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1,
2014, valuation of approximately $3,442,551. Based on the 2013 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $75,783. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by
$4,416,000, upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development will
result in an estimated tax increase of over $97,200.00 annually adjusted with a 2% appreciation in
value for 15 years resulting in $1,600,000 of increment over the 15 year period. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use as city
general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be required to amortize
the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment costs to enable this project to
be realized.
Estimated 2014 assessed value: $ 3,442,551.00
Estimated value after completion $ 7,858,035.00
Increment value $ 4,415,484.00
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 97,200.00
TIF bond issue $ 1,600,000.00
Tax Revenue Phase 2. The property to be redeveloped for townhouses is anticipated to have a
January 1, 2021, valuation of approximately $574,685. Based on the 2020 levy this would result
in a real property tax of approximately $12,508. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $14,514,333, upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $319,557 annually or an increment of
$4,793,348 over the 15 year period. The tax increment gained from this Redevelopment Project
Area would not be available for use as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such
shorter time as may be required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private
redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2021 assessed value: $ 574,685

*This is a market rate increment value and if LITHC is used for the project the actual
annual revenues generated would likely be reduced by as much as half.
Phase 1
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $3,442,591.
The proposed demolition, new parking lot and renovations at this location will result in
an additional $4,415,444 of taxable valuation based on an analysis by the Hall County
Assessor’s office. No tax shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates
additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools. Fire and police protection are available and should not be impacted by this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This project will protect and enhance the existing employment within the Project Area by
maintaining a grocery store at this location. Additional employment is anticipated with
the inline retail and restaurant also proposed at this site. At project stabilization
employment is expected to increase to 28 full time equivalent employees. Temporary
construction employment will increase during the construction. The construction period
is expected to exceed 12 months.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 125 / 162
This facility could draw employees from other similar facilities within the City. The
latest available labor statistics show that the Grand Island labor pool is 27,961 with a
3.3% unemployment rate1.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This will provide appropriate development at a key entrance into the City of Grand
Island. Five Points is an iconic location in Grand Island. This redevelopment plan will
result in substantial new construction in the neighborhood. Skagway has been a key
business at the Five Points location for more than 60 years. This site has had a
neighborhood grocery store since before the area to the north and east was developed.
Redevelopment of this site will preserve this neighborhood commercial district and
strengthen and preserve the surrounding residential values.
Personal property in the project is subject to current property tax rates. Personal property
for the Project is estimated at $1,000,000 resulting in an estimated personal property tax
for the first year of operations of $22,000. Personal property tax is not subject to TIF and
will be paid to the normal taxing entities. There will additionally be more city sales taxes
paid to the city of Grand Island as a result of new taxable sales at the restaurant and inline
stores.
Phase 2
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $574,685.
The proposed redevelopment at this location will result in an additional $14,514,333 of
taxable valuation based on an analysis by the Hall County Assessor’s office. The project
creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid
off and provide housing in the next four years.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. This development may have an impact on
the schools in the area as further discussed below. Fire and police protection are available
and should not be significantly impacted by this development but all new development
does create potential issues for staffing and response.

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 126 / 162
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
The proposed project will provide either workforce housing for employees in the area or
potentially retirement housing for older citizens of Grand Island that would be moving
out of existing homes making those available to new residents. Housing is a major
concern for all expanding employers in the City of Grand Island.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
The proposed project will provide either workforce housing for employees in the area or
potentially retirement housing for older citizens of Grand Island that would be moving
out of existing homes making those available to new residents. Housing is a major
concern for all expanding employers in the City of Grand Island.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have an impact on the Grand Island School system and
will likely result in additional students at both the elementary and secondary school
levels.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61. 70 additional households would
house 182 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island
was over 4 years old and under 18 years old. 2020 census number for this population
cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age
this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it
would be expected that there would be an additional 35 school age children generated by
this development. Given the nature of the units ( a maximum of 70- 2 bedroom
townhomes) proposed these numbers are likely to be significantly less than for detached
single family development. If this develops as proposed with at a rate of around 16 unit
per year for 4 years approximately 9 children could be added to the school age population
every year with this development. These 9 children will likely be spread over the full
school age population from elementary to secondary school. According to the National
Center for Educational Statistics2 the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students
and the cost per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally. The
Grand Island Public School System was notified on November 4, 2021 that the CRA
would be considering this application at their November 10, 2021 meeting.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 12/2/2021 Page 127 / 162
The proposed development will provide workforce housing in the short term. This is
infill development that will utilize property within the city limits that has been
undeveloped.
Time Frame for Development
Development of phase 1 of this project is anticipated to be completed during between
October 2014 and October of 2015. The base tax year should be calculated on the value
of the property as of January 1, 2015. Excess valuation should be available for this
project for 15 years beginning with the 2016 tax year. Excess valuation will be used to
pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the
developer for a period not to exceed 15 years or an amount not to exceed $1,600,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. Based on the purchase price of the property and estimates of the expenses of
renovation activities and associated engineering fees, the developer will spend more than
$5,000,000 on TIF eligible activities.
Development of phase 2 of this project is anticipated to be completed between 2022 and
2025. The base tax year will be set with contract amendments based on the completion
of structures. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning

Estimated Real Estate Taxes on Project Site Upon Completion of Project:
(Please Show Calculations)
With LlHTC
34 units valued at $180,000 times a tax levy of 2.1766 is $3,918 per unit or $133,208 annually.
32 Low Income Housing Tax Units are taxed differently based on income and will likely produce
$20,000 a year in real estate tax. If Tax units are not built, there will be 24 additional market rate
units. If valued at $180,000 which would produce $94,029 per year.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING REQUEST INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
We are requesting $1,779,000 for the purchase of land and infrastructure. Total land
cost is $484,000 and the infrastructure costs are estimated at $1,295,000.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and Necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing
for Proposed Project:
We are proposing to build the same duplex units that we have built in Hasting,
Norfolk, Schuyler and Holdrege. In Hastings, Norfolk and Holdrege we received TIF
to buy the land and install the infrastructure. In Schuyler, the City provided free lots.
Without the use of TIF our lot costs in Grand Island would be approximately, $35,000
per lot estimating interest costs on a four year build out. If we add $35,000 to the
required sale price witl1 today's construction costs, we don't believe we hit the
necessary target price point.

Pro Formas
The construction pro forma is for the market rate units. It shows the infrastructure and townhome build
out and sale as anticipated by quarter.
