includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes and subject to Nebraska State income
taxation.
The parties agree that any grant paid hereunder to the Redeveloper as reimbursement for
the cost of the Public Improvements are for the benefit of the City and the public and are granted
pursuant to the contract provisions described herein and that such grant funds are not under the
dominion and control of the Redeveloper and should not be construed as income to the
Redeveloper under the Internal Revenue Code Section 61 (I.R.C. § 61).
Section 3.03 Pledge of Revenues.
Under the terms of the Resolution, the Authority pledges 100% of the available annual TIF
Revenues derived from the Redevelopment Project Property as security for and to provide payment
of the Indebtedness as the same fall due (including payment of any mandatory redemption amounts
set for the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Resolution).
Section 3.04 Purchase and Pledge of Indebtedness/Grant of Net Proceeds of Indebtedness.
The Redeveloper has agreed to purchase the Indebtedness from the Authority for a price
equal to the principal amount thereof, payable as provided in Section 3.02 and this Section 3.04.
In accordance with the terms of the Redevelopment Plan the Redeveloper is to receive one or more
grants to pay the costs for reimbursement of site acquisition, including easements, site preparation
costs, public infrastructure costs and utilities including those items as described on Exhibit D (the
"Project Costs"), in the aggregate maximum amount not to exceed $9,839,089. 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.

ARTICLE VI
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 improvements included in the Project Costs on or before May 1, 2023,
or shall abandon construction work related to the Project Costs, once commenced, for any
period of 180 days, excepting delays caused by inclement weather;
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 42 / 314
13
Innate Development Area 33 Legacy 34 2023
(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 45 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
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 nine percent (9.0%)
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 43 / 314
14
Innate Development Area 33 Legacy 34 2023
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 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.

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 18-2153, inclusive, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as

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

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.

Registrar not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, unless waived by the Registered Owner

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 33
Amended August 2022 for Legacy 34 2023
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 33 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 33.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 200 ACRES OF PROPERTY
LOCATED WEST OF PRAIRIEVIEW STREET AND NORTH OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY IN SOUTHWESTST GRAND ISLAND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
WALKABLE MIXED USE COMMUNITY (DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE COMMERICAL, AND
RECREATIONAL USES) WHILE PROTECTING PRESERVING AND ENHANCING
THE NATURAL WETLANDS ON THE PROPERTY. THIS WILL BE A MULTI-
PHASE DEVELOPMENT WITH A REDEVELOPEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
EACH PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE APPROVED SEPARATELY.
This is a site specific plan for 14.08 acres and the second phase of this development to be
referred to as Legacy 34 2023. The Legacy 34 2023 project is located directly east of the
Legacy 34 2022 project and will include civic, commercial multifamily residential single
family residential and recreational uses. Amenities for the neighborhood and community
including hike bike trail extensions, civic center building and green space will also be a
part of the Legacy 34 2023 phase of this development.
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 a 7000 square foot civic building, 150 units of
apartments in 10 unit buildings, 4 carriage houses and about 11,000 square foot of
commercial space planned for a sports bar, ice cream shop and coffee shop. The use of
Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to
make this project feasible as presented this was anticipated with the approval of the
general development plan for this property in 2022. The proposed development does not
maximize the number of units that can be built on the property but maximizes the
livability of the neighborhood by creating a walkable neighborhood with a mix of
housing types and recreation features scattered throughout the development. It is
anticipated that the Legacy 34 2023 phase of this development will take up to 6 years to
complete and that the next phase will likely begin before the last of this one has been
developed.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 62 / 314
Innate Development 2, LLC has purchased the full 200 acres that will encompass this
development. The property was annexed in 2011.The developer is responsible for and has
provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs
associated with this project. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
(CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods
beginning January 1, 2024 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for
redevelopment of this property.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Legal Descriptions: Property to be platted as Legacy 34 Second Subdivision in the SE
¼ of the NW ¼ and the E ½ of the SW ¼ and the W ½ of the SE ¼ of 25-11-10 (Parcels
400201089 and 400201097) in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 63 / 314
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 64 / 314
The tax increment on Legacy 34 2023 will be captured for the tax years the
payments for which become delinquent in years 2024 through 2046 inclusive. The
TIF contract will be structured so it can be amended each year for up to six years to
add the buildings to be completed during that year. No single building 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 a mix of residential and commercial uses in the project area to be
permitted as the project progresses.
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 redevelopment contract amendment, consistent with this
Redevelopment Plan. The general plan approved in 2021 anticipated that the whole 200
acre project will be developed in several phases with a redevelopment plan amendment
specific to each phase of the development. This is the second of the proposed phases and
should be referred to as Legacy 34 2023. The Legacy 34 2023 plan anticipates that
buildings constructed each year of the development will constitute new effective date for
the purposes of determining the period of fifteen years. Improvements for the overall
development may be constructed prior to the development of later phases and eligible
expenses from those improvements not covered by early phases may be applied to later
phases for reimbursement by TIF funds generated in the later phases. 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,
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 65 / 314
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:
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 August 26, 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 and has maintained and
amended it since that time. Changes to future land use map in the Grand Island
Comprehensive Plan for this project were approved in 2021 with Legacy 34 2022. This
phase of the project including the multifamily, single family residential, commercial and
civic space is consistent with the planned development for this area shown on the future
landuse map as mixed use commercial. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission
held a public hearing at their meeting on September 7, 2022 and passed Resolution 2022-
13 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 33 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 66 / 314
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The future land
use map for the 2004 plan was amended in 2021 to show the southern portion of this 200
acres as planned for mixed use commercial. Legacy 34 2023 is within the portion
planned for mixed use development. This property is in private ownership. [§18-2103(b)
and §18-2111] The general plan approved in 2022 anticipated development of 278 single
family detached lots, 25 duplex lots, 53 townhouse/condo lots, 300 units of apartments
and 6.3 acres of retail and 9 acres of light industrial backing on to the industrial property
to the north across the entire 200 acres. The development of this 14 acres is consistent
with that original plan. [§18-2111(5)]
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned R-2 Low Density Residential zone and M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone.
The property has historically been farmed a permitted use in both of those districts. The
plan for a mixed use neighborhood at this location will require a mix of zoning changes.
New streets and storm drainage are planned throughout the site as part of the
development in a manner consistent with the existing development. It is anticipated that
TIF revenues will offset the costs of those improvements and that some of these
improvements may be built. No changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances.
[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The proposed development will meet the coverage and intensity of use requirements for
each phase of the development as it is approved. The overall planned density of the
project is less than would be permitted with no changes. [§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 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
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 - 11/9/2022 Page 69 / 314
The developer has purchased this property and proposing to use $220,000 of that
purchase price as an eligible expense attributed to the Legacy 34 2023 project. For the
Legacy 34 2023 phase the estimated costs of utilities including sanitary sewer, water,
storm sewer, electric and gas is $1,666,875. Site work and grading is expected to cost
$2,612,000. Total cost for paving of public and private streets, public parking, sidewalks
and trails is $3,940,214. It is anticipated that planning activities including design,
engineering and architecture for the site will be at least $1,300,000 and need to be
included in Legacy 34 2022 project costs. Other eligible activities including government
fees and expenses and legal and contract expenses are expected to be $100,000. The total
of the eligible expenses for this project is estimated by the developer at $9,839,089.
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 Legacy 34 2022 project by granting the sum of $9,839,089 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, 2024 through December 2046.
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
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 70 / 314
conditions. This will accomplish the goal of increasing the number of residential units,
commercial development and recreational opportunities within the City of Grand Island
and encouraging infill development.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2022 year. The Legacy 34 2023
phase will likely be built over a six year period between 2022 and 2028 based on market
demand. Excess valuation should be available for the Legacy 34 2023 project for 15
years beginning with the 2024 tax year. Additional phases of development are
anticipated for the remainder of the project. It is anticipated that the developers will be
including TIF in the capital stack of future phases but each future phase will be evaluated
with a site specific redevelopment plan prior to contract approval similar to this one.
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. Between January 1 of 2020 and June of 2022
permits for 547 new housing units had been issued leaving a need for more than 800
additional units in the next 2 years to meet the anticipated need. 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.
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 $9,839,089 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
$20,332,911 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.06 for every TIF and
grant dollar investment.

Source of Funds
Tax Revenue. The 14.08 acres of this site to be redeveloped as Legacy 34 2022 is
anticipated to have a January 1, 2022, valuation of approximately $41,325 based on the
per acre valuation of the current parcel. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a
real property tax of approximately $853. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $30,172,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $655,939 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 2023 assessed value (14.08 acres): $ 41,235
Estimated value after completion $ 30,213,235
Increment value $ 30,172,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 655,939
TIF bond issue $ 9,839,089
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 72 / 314
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $41,235. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $30,172,000 over the course
of the next six years. The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing
entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 154 additional housing
units, neighborhood commercial space and recreational trail connections and
opportunities. The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond
principal of $9,839,089 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 likely to result in a larger number of students in the Gates Elementary
School service area. 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 in Legacy 34 2023 (1 and 2 bedroom apartments) is
less likely to attract families to the neighborhood than the single family detached housing
proposed for later phases of this project. Overall there will be a net increase in the
number of students attending the Grand Island Public School system as a result of this
development.
(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 estimates that each new single family home is the
equivalent of 2.5 full time equivalent jobs and each unit of multifamily housing results in
an FTE of 1.16 job. An average of 25 apartments and 1 carriage house would produce
about 31 FTE’s per year for the next 6 years plus additional FTE’s for the commercial
space that is proposed.
(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 - 11/9/2022 Page 73 / 314
(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. 173 additional households would
house 402 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 77 school age children generated by
this development. Given the nature of the units (150- 1 and 2 bedroom apartments)
proposed for Legacy 34 2023 these numbers are likely to be significantly less than for
detached single family development. If this develops at a rate of 25 unit per year for 6
years approximately 13 children could be added to the school age population every year
with this development. These 13 children will likely be spread over the full school age
population from elementary to secondary school. According to the National Center for
Educational Statistics1 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 August 4, 2022 that the CRA would be considering
this application at their August 10, 2022 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 1300 new dwelling units by 2024. Based on the permits
between January of 2020 and June of 2022 there are 547 units of housing that have been
permitted. More than 750 units still need to be built before the end of 2024 to meet the
projected need. 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 the Legacy 34 2023 project is anticipated to be completed during
between the Spring of 2023 and the end of 2028. The base tax year should be calculated
on the value of the property as of January 1, 2023 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 2024 with
taxes due in 2025. 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 $9,839,089 the projected amount of
increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate.

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 74 / 314
This is the second phase of this development just over 42 acres of the full 200 acres will
be subject to redevelopment contracts upon final approval of this plan and the associated
contracts. It is anticipated that full development of the 200 acre site will take a minimum
of 15 years thought it could take as long as 30 or more based on average development in
Grand Island. Each additional project will be brought forward as an amendment in a
format similar to this amendment.

registration of transfer of such Note sufficient to reimburse it or them for any and all costs required to be paid
with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer. Neither the Authority nor the Registrar shall be
required to make any such exchange or registration of transfer of any Note during the period between a Record
Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
Section 3.7. Ownership of Note. As to any Note, the person in whose name the same shall be
registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on
account of the principal of or interest on such Note shall be made only to or upon the order of the Owner
thereof or his legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Note, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 3.8. Disposition and Destruction of Note. The Note, upon surrender to the Registrar for
final payment, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption, shall be canceled upon such payment by the
Registrar and, upon written request of the Finance Director, be destroyed.
Section 3.9. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Note. If any Note becomes mutilated or is
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Authority shall execute and deliver a new Note of like date and tenor as the
Note mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed; provided that, in the case of any mutilated Note, such mutilated
Note shall first be surrendered to the Authority. In the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Note, there first
shall be furnished to the Authority evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Authority,
together with indemnity to the Authority satisfactory to the Authority. If any such Note has matured, is
about to mature or has been called for redemption, instead of delivering a substitute Note, the Authority
may pay the same without surrender thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Authority may
require the payment of an amount by the Owner sufficient to reimburse the Authority for any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in connection therewith.
Section 3.10. Non-presentment of Note. If any Note is not presented for payment when the
principal thereof becomes due and payable as therein and herein provided, whether at the stated maturity
thereof or call for optional or mandatory redemption or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay such Note have
been made available to the Registrar all liability of the Authority to the Owner thereof for the payment of
such Note shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty
of the Registrar to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of
such Note, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever nature on
their part under this Resolution or on, or with respect to, said Note. If any Note is not presented for payment
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 84 / 314
Legacy 34 2023 Area 33 Page -10-
within five years following the date when such Note becomes due, the Registrar shall repay to the Authority
the funds theretofore held by it for payment of such Note, and such Note shall, subject to the defense of any
applicable statute of limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the Authority, and the Registered
Owner thereof shall be entitled to look only to the Authority for payment, and then only to the extent of the
amount so repaid to it by the Registrar, and the Authority shall not be liable for any interest thereon and
shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.
ARTICLE IV
REDEMPTION OF NOTE
Section 4.1. Redemption of Note. The Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Authority
prior to the maturity thereof at any time as a whole or in part from time to time in such principal amount as
the Authority shall determine, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount then being
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
Section 4.2. Redemption Procedures. The Finance Director is hereby authorized, without further
action of the Council, to call all or any portion of the principal of the Note for payment and redemption prior
to maturity on such date as the Finance Director shall determine, and shall deposit sufficient funds in the Debt
Service Account from the Surplus Account to pay the principal being redeemed plus the accrued interest
thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The Finance Director may effect partial redemptions of any Note
without notice to the Owner and without presentation and surrender of such Note, but total redemption of any
Note may only be effected with notice to the Owner and upon presentation and surrender of such Note to the
Registrar. Notice of a total redemption of any Note shall be sent by the Registrar by first-class mail not less
than five days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Owner’s address appearing on the books of registry
maintained by the Registrar and indicate (a) the title and designation of the Note, (b) the redemption date, and
(c) a recitation that the entire principal balance of such Note plus all accrued interest thereon is being called
for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
Section 4.3. Determination of Outstanding Principal Amount of Note. Notwithstanding the
amount indicated on the face of any Note, the principal amount of such Note actually Outstanding from time
to time shall be determined and maintained by the Registrar. The Registrar shall make a notation in the books
of registry maintained for each Note indicating the original principal advance of such Note as determined in
accordance with Section 3.2 and make such additional notations as are required to reflect any additional
principal advances or redemptions of such Note from time to time, including on the Table of Cumulative
Outstanding Principal Amount attached to each Note if it is presented to the Registrar for that purpose. Any
Owner may examine the books of registry maintained by the Registrar upon request, and the Registrar shall
grant such request as soon as reasonably practicable. Any failure of the Registrar to record a principal
advance or a redemption on the Table of Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shall not affect the
Cumulative Outstanding Principal Amount shown on the records of the Registrar.
ARTICLE V
REFUNDING NOTES
Section 5.1. Refunding Notes. Refunding Notes may be issued at any time at the direction of the
Finance Director for the purpose of refunding (including by purchase) any Note or any portion thereof,
including amounts to pay principal to the date of maturity or redemption (or purchase) and the expenses of
issuing the Refunding Notes and of effecting such refunding; provided that the Debt Service on all notes to

Redevelopment Contract from time to time pursuant to each Redevelopment Contract Amendment. The
Planning Director is hereby directed to notify the Assessor of the effective date of the Project on the form
prescribed by the Property Tax Administrator.
Section 6.2. Collection of Revenue; Pledge of Revenue. As provided for in the Redevelopment
Plan, and pursuant to the provisions of the Redevelopment Law, for the period contemplated thereby, the Tax

under the terms of this Resolution to pay the principal on the Note. When the Note has been paid in
accordance with this Resolution, the Redevelopment Plan and the Redevelopment Contract, the Tax Revenue
shall be applied as provided for in the Redevelopment Law.
The Revenue is hereby allocated and pledged in its entirety to the payment of the principal on the
Note and to the payment of the Project Costs (including the Project), until the principal on the Note has been
paid (or until money for that purpose has been irrevocably set aside), and the Revenue shall be applied solely
to the payment of the principal on the Note. Such allocation and pledge is and shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Owner and shall be irrevocable.
Section 6.3. Potential Insufficiency of Revenue. Neither the Authority nor the City makes any
representations, covenants, or warranties to the Owner that the Revenue will be sufficient to pay the principal
of or interest on the Note. Payment of the principal of and interest on the Note is limited solely and exclusively
to the Revenue pledged under the terms of this Resolution, and is not payable from any other source
whatsoever.

PAYMENTS THEREFROM
Section 7.1. Creation of Funds and Account. There is hereby created and established by the
Authority a special trust fund called the “Innate Development 2 Redevelopment Project Note Fund” (the

no purpose other than those required or permitted by this Resolution, any Resolution supplemental to or
amendatory of this Resolution and the Redevelopment Law.

or employees) faithfully perform and abide by all of the covenants, undertakings and provisions contained in
this Resolution or in the Note, including the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owner
which are necessary, convenient and desirable to secure the Note and will tend to make them more marketable;

from issuing and selling notes or other obligations which are payable in whole or in part from sources other
than the Revenue.
Section 8.2. To Pay Principal of the Note. The Authority will duly and punctually pay or cause to
be paid solely from the Revenue the principal of the Note on the dates and at the places and in the manner
provided in the Note according to the true intent and meaning thereof and hereof, and will faithfully do and
perform and fully observe and keep any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained
in the Note and in this Resolution.
Section 8.4. Books of Account; Financial Statements. The Authority covenants and agrees that it

Section 8.5. Eminent Domain Proceeds. The Authority covenants and agrees that should all or any
part of the Project be taken by eminent domain or other proceedings authorized by law for any public or other

for the purposes and in the manner described in Section 7.2.
Section 8.6. Protection of Security. The Authority is duly authorized under all applicable laws to
create and issue the Note and to adopt this Resolution and to pledge the Revenue in the manner and to the
extent provided in this Resolution. The Revenue so pledged is and will be free and clear of any pledge, lien,
charge, security interest or encumbrance thereon or with respect thereto prior to, or of equal rank with, the
pledge created by this Resolution, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and all corporate action on
the part of the Authority to that end has been duly and validly taken. The Note is and will be a valid obligation
of the Authority in accordance with its terms and the terms of this Resolution. The Authority shall at all times,
to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and protect the pledge of and security interest granted with
respect to the Revenue pledged under this Resolution and all the rights of the Owner under this Resolution

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

This Note is a special limited obligation of the Authority payable as to principal solely from and is

terms and conditions set forth in the Resolution. The Tax Revenue represents that portion of ad valorem taxes

with law.
The principal hereon shall not be payable from the general funds of the City nor the Authority nor

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 Registrar may from time to time enter the respective amounts advanced pursuant to the terms of
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, for
definitions of terms; the description of and the nature and extent of the security for this Note; the Tax 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,
do exist and have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner; that this Note does not exceed
any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation on indebtedness; and that provision has been made for the
payment of the principal of and interest on this Note as provided in this Resolution.

Authority herein or therein made or provided for, shall be fully discharged and satisfied as to the Note or any
portion thereof, and the Note or any portion thereof shall no longer be deemed to be 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

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 93 / 314
Legacy 34 2023 Area 33 Page -19-
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 make
such payment.
Provided that, with respect to any total redemption of any Note, notice of redemption shall have been
duly given or provision satisfactory to the Registrar shall have been made therefor, or waiver of such 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
Section 10.1 may at the direction of the Finance Director also be invested and reinvested in Escrow
Obligations, maturing in the amounts and times as hereinbefore set forth. All income from all Escrow

that fund.
Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, if money or Escrow Obligations have
been deposited or set aside with the Registrar pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of any Note and
such Note shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the provisions of this Section
10.1 shall be valid as to or binding upon the Owner thereof without the consent of such Owner.
Section 10.2. Certain Limitations After Due Date. If sufficient money or Escrow Obligations shall
have been deposited in accordance with the terms hereof with the Registrar in trust for the purpose of paying
the Notes or any portion thereof when the same becomes due, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption,
all liability of the Authority for such payment shall forthwith cease, determine and be 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
Obligations held by the Registrar in trust for the payment and discharge of the principal of on any Note which
remain unclaimed for five years after the date on which such payment shall have become due and payable,
either because the Notes shall have reached their maturity date or because the entire principal balance of the
Notes shall have been called for redemption, if such money was held by the Registrar or such 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.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 17
June 2016 Amended November 2022
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 17 within the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific project in Area 17.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY AND WEST OF U.S. HIGHWAY 281 (THE PROJECT SITE IS
CURRENTLY PLATTED AS EWOLDT SUBDIVISION WHICH PLAT WILL BE
VACATED AND A NEW PLAT RECORDED). THIS AMENDMENT APPLIES
SPECIFICALLY TO ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR LOT 3 OF PRAIRIE COMMONS
SECOND SUBDIVISION AND A PORTION OF LOT 1 OF PRAIRIE COMMONS
SECOND SUBDIVISION TO BE REPLATTED. THE ORIGINAL PROJECT WILL
CONSISTED OF DEMOLITION OF EXISTING FARMS STRUCTURES, ALL SITE
WORK AND GRADING TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE DRAINAGE ACROSS
THE SITE, INTALLATION OF ROADS, SEWER, WATER AND OTHER UTILITY
INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. THE PROJECT
SHALL ALSO INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND
MODIFICATIONS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY (U.S. HIGHWAY 34) AND U.S. HIGHWAY 281 TO FACILITATE THE
TRAFFIC THE PROJECT WILL GENERATE. THE INTIAL PHASE OF THIS
DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSISTED OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 4 STORY 64
BED HOSPITAL AND, A 66,000 SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE
BUILDINGAND A PLANNED AND A 103 BED HOTEL WITH 7000 SQUARE FEET
OF CONFERENCE/MEETING SPACE. THIS PHASE IS PROPOSING TO REPLACE
THE HOTEL AT THIS LOCATION WITH ANOTHER THREE STORY 66,000
SQUARE FOOT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in demolition, site clearance, and necessary
infrastructure and grading improvements to redevelop the southwest corner of Husker
Highway and U.S. Highway 281 currently platted as Ewoldt Sub in the City of Grand
Island was proposed in the original application and that work has been completed. The
use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary
to make this project economically feasible. The project will result in the development of
lots along this section of U.S. 281 toward U.S. Interstate 80. The proposed anchors for
the first phase of this development location include a private hospital, medical office
building and hotel with conference space. This plan amendment replaces the hotel with a
second medical office building. Subsequent phases of the remainder of the site include
housing, office space and retail development. The developer has indicated that this
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 100 / 314
development would not be considered nor financially feasible for at this location without
the use of TIF.
Prataria Ventures L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chief Industries, Inc., owns the
subject property. Chief Industries was founded in 1954 and is headquartered in Grand
Island. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure
adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with the 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, 2018 towards the
allowable costs.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Legal Descriptions: All of Ewoldt Subdivision in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska
and the adjacent rights-of-way for Husker Highway/U.S. Highway 34, U.S. Highway 281
and Rae Road. This amendment applies specifically to Lots 1 and 3 of Prairie Commons
Second Subdivision.

This plan amendment provides for the issuance TIF Notes, the proceeds of which
will be granted to the Redeveloper. The tax increment will be captured for up to 15
tax years the payments for which become delinquent in years 2018 through 2032
inclusive or as otherwise dictated by the contract. The proposed development with
this amendment for a second medical office building anticipates a restructured bond
that would span the tax years 2023 to 2038.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The incremental value for the first phase will be
created by the construction of a 64 bed private hospital, medical office building and
hotel/conference center a second medical office building. This area is planned for
commercial development with the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and will has
been need to be rezoned to either a B2 General Commercial or CD Commercial
Development zone to accommodate the planned development. An amendment to the
CD Zone to allow the second medical office building has been proposed.
. In addition, the current subdivision will be vacated and a new subdivision created
to create the buildable lots of record for the first phase of redevelopment.
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, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. 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

e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to build on the site within the constraints allowed by the
proposed zoning districts. The CD zoning district allows for up to 50% of the CD zone
to be covered with buildings. The B2 zone would allow coverage of up to 100% of the
lot less required landscaping and the RO zoning district would allow up to 75% coverage.

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 blighted and substandard
conditions within the area.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and December of 2018. Excess valuation should be available for this project for 15 years
beginning with the 2017 tax year. The MOB 2.0 anticipated with the amendment would
be constructed in 2023 and open in and fully taxable in 2024. Additional projects may be
brought forward for separate consideration on parcels located outside of this initial phase.
9. Justification of Project
Demolition, extension of utilities, substantial site grading and installation of streets are
necessary to facilitate redevelopment of this site. The redevelopment of this property by
Prataria Ventures, LLC, will result in increased employment opportunities in the medical
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 114 / 314
sector within Grand Island as well as expanded medical choices. This is a first step in
extending development south along U.S. Highway 281 toward U.S. Interstate 80. The
Grand Island City Council has made it clear with previous decisions that they support
development toward the I-80/281 interchange.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis The CRA will engage consultants to prepare a cost benefit
analysis. The results of the original analysis will beare included as an appendix to this
plan amendmente original plan. The original analysis supported TIF in an amount of
$28,708,000. The total TIF proposed has been reduced to $18,985,000.
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
(MOB 2.0 Only)
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $621,000.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $27,029,000 over the
course of the next two years. The project creates additional valuation that will support
taxing entities long after the project is paid off. The tax shift from this project will be
equal to the total of the bond principal of $4,885,000 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. 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.
(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 medical facilities for residents of Grand Island and for
the surrounding area. New medical staff will be needs to support this development.
(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
New medical staff will be needed to support this development.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 115 / 314
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will not have a direct impact on the Grand Island School system
since it does not include a housing component. New employees will need housing and
that may impact the schools depending on where people choose to live.
(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 is a regional medical provider and this development will help solidify and
enhance that position. The MOB 2.0 will support the new hospital and provide additional
competition within the medical market place in Grand Island.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between September of 2016
and December of 2018. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2017. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2017 with taxes due in 2018. 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 $28,708,000 the
projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current
tax rate. The total TIF for the project as proposed would be $18,985,000. A total of
$9,723,000 less than originally approved.

Grand Island, NE 68802
Proposed Project: Building square footage, size of property, description of buildings -
materials, etc. Attach site plan, if available.
Building square footage: Total 319,865
Size of property: Phase 1, 35 Acres
Description of buildings:
Prataria owns a 96 acre parcel of land that includes a farm homestead, farmland and pasture land.
This is a generational development opportunity which sits at the front door of Grand Island. Prataria
proposes to develop this parcel in four separate phases. The first phase will be on 35 acres that will
include a hospital, medical office building and a hotel.
The hospital is approximately 172,000 square feet and will be designed for potential future expan-
sion horizontally and vertically. The initial 4 story bed tower will be comprised of 64 patient rooms
and will be designed for two additional floors for future growth. The structure is designed utilizing
conventional steel framing, with the exterior being a combination of precast panels, metal pan-
els, curtainwall and storefront glass features.
The Medical Office Building will be a three story structure totaling 66,000 square feet. It will also be
a conventional steel framed structure with the same exterior materials and features as the hospital.
Thus, creating a campus feel with complimentary architectural design features. It will be attached to
the hospital structure, allowing patient and visitors ease of accessing both facilities.
Due to the growth of the healthcare industry in Grand Island, there is a perceived need for additional
medical offices on the Prairie Common campus. These medical offices will need to be attached to the
Grand Island Regional Medical Center (GIRMC) and the original Prairie Commons MOB (#1.0). This will
be achieved by corridor links between the three buildings and creating a healing garden adjacent to the
buildings and corridors (corridors will consist of 3,885 square feet on GIRMC property). Due to this
campus healthcare emphasis, the hospitality component is planned to move to another phase of the
Prairie Commons development and to another parcel within the development. This Prairie Commons
MOB #2.0 is planned to be a Class A three-story structure encompassing a total of 66,000 sq. ft. The
design features will mimic those of GIRMC and PC MOB #1.0 so that the architectural integrity is intact.
Additional phases will be forthcoming.
If Property is to be Subdivided, Show Division Planned:
See conceptual plan submitted. Actual preliminary plat to be determined in near future.

PROJECT REDEVELOPER INFORMATION
Describe Amount and Purpose for Which Tax Increment Financing is Requested:
Tax Increment Financing is being requested in the amount of $4,885,000. for the development of Lot 3 of
Phase One of the Prairie Commons Development. The TIF funds will enable the healthcare component of
campus to continue to grow and allow for specialty clinics to expand to the campus and to the community
of Grand Island. The TIF financing component will allow this project on Lot 3 to move forward and will
assist in the funding gap for the developers to continue on the path of high quality and aesthetic designs to
attract clients and practitioners to our community. In addition to significant investments in the structures,
this will also provide extensive investments into personal property and thus provide a large increase in
personal property taxes. This new medical office building will also provided for expanded employment
opportunities, healthcare alternatives, and quality of life features.
Statement Identifying Financial Gap and necessity for use of Tax Increment Financing for
Proposed Project:
The proposed site work and construction costs will result in an overall improvement to the
area and allow for additional medical goods and services, employment opportunities, medical
office space and a hospitality/conference area. Tax increment financing is an integral and es-
sential component to the project completion which is contingent upon receipt of the expected
tax increment assistance. Feasibility is dependent upon TIF funds that will enable the creation
of adequate economics to make the necessary site improvements, utility extensions and new
construction costs at a competitive rate in the area.

Redevelopment Plan
Grand Island CRA Area 28
Conestoga Marketplace
October 2022
The Community Redevelopment Authority of the City of Grand Island (“CRA”)
seeks to approve this Redevelopment Plan for Area 28 within the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska (“City”), pursuant to the Nebraska Community Development Law
and provide for the financing of specific costs related to Conestoga Marketplace
Redevelopment Project located within Area 28.
Introduction:
The Conestoga Mall (“Existing Mall Property”) has been an integral part of Grand
Island’s community for nearly 50 years, dating back to its original construction in 1971.
However, with the rise of e-commerce, the loss of three of the four primary mall anchors
and the lack of investment, the Existing Mall Property has struggled to thrive in this
changing retail environment. The Existing Mall Property has been in steady decline with
property tax valuations dropping approximately $10,000,000 (50%) over the past 20 years
and tenant sales falling 40% over the prior eight years.
Through this Conestoga Marketplace Redevelopment Project (“Redevelopment
Project”), Woodsonia Hwy 281, LLC and its successors and assigns (collectively
“Woodsonia” or “Redeveloper”), CRA and the City of Grand Island, Nebraska (“City”)
have the unique partnership opportunity to breathe new life into Grand Island’s key
landmark asset by attracting one of the premier retailers in the United States, which will
serve as the new retail anchor for the Redevelopment Project. As described in the
Redevelopment Project Description section below, the future Conestoga Marketplace will
be re-positioned as a true mixed-use development with shopping, dining, entertainment and
housing. Furthermore, Conestoga Marketplace will be a catalyst to drive additional
development / redevelopment in the immediate area and attract new concepts and
companies to the Grand Island community.
With the adoption of this Redevelopment Plan, the City and CRA recognize the need to
utilize appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent the development or
spread of urban blight, encourage needed urban rehabilitation, provide for the
redevelopment of blighted and substandard area, and/or undertake such of the aforesaid
activities or other feasible municipal activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the
goals and objectives set forth herein.
Redevelopment Project Description:
Woodsonia is an Omaha, NE based development firm that is excited to propose the
Redevelopment Project, which will convert the 60-acre Existing Mall Property into a future
$220M + mixed-use, life-style project called “Conestoga Marketplace”. Conestoga
Marketplace will be anchored by a new to market approximately 150,000 SF retailer
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 137 / 314

positioned on the southern portion of the redevelopment site. The remaining portion of the
mall will be completely modernized with exterior facing storefronts, updated façades, new
tenant signage and a state-of-the-art entertainment offering, including a new cinema with
in-theater dining, indoor / outdoor pickleball courts and a first-class bar / restaurant facility.
The Redevelopment Project will include improved parking facilities available to the public.
Conestoga Marketplace will also include 300 + Class A market rate multi-family housing
units, a new hotel and pad sites along Hwy 281 and 13th Street. The pad sites will be
comprised of new restaurants and multi-tenant retail buildings. The Redevelopment Project
may be developed as five Sub-Redevelopment Project Areas described below. With the
City’s and CRA’s support, the Redevelopment Project hopes to commence in Q2 of 2023
with the new to market 150,000 SF retailer anticipated to open in 2025. The proposed site
plan (“Site Plan”) is illustrated below:

Extremely Blighted and Substandard:
On November 8, 2022 the City approved the Blight and Substandard Study – Area 28
prepared by Marvin Planning Consultants (“Blight and Substandard Study”).
Subsequently, the City also approved the Extremely Blighted Determination Study, City
of Grand Island, Nebraska, dated August, 2022, prepared by Marvin Planning Consultants,
Inc. and Kurt Elder, AICP for Area 28 (“Extremely Blighted Determination Study”).
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 139 / 314

The Blight and Substandard Study and the Extremely Blighted Determination Study are
collectively referred as the “Extreme Blight Study”.
Upon the recommendation of the Hall County Regional Planning Commission, the City
Council held a public hearing and upon consideration of the record before it, including the
Extreme Blight Study, the City Council declared Area 28, the boundaries of which are
shown below, as “Extremely Blighted and Substandard”.
The Existing Mall Property is sometimes referred to herein as the “Project Site”. The
Project Site (defined below) comprises most of the southern portion of Area 28 and thus,
has been declared to be Extremely Blighted and Substandard. The designation of Area 28
as Extremely Blighted and Substandard enables the City to undertake the Redevelopment
Project pursuant to the Nebraska Community Development Law (“Act”).
A map of the condition of Area 28, is shown below:

Proposed Private and Public Improvements and Uses of Funds:
Proposed expenditures for the Redevelopment Project improvements and enhancements
are identified in Exhibit A. Such private and public improvements and enhancements will
include the removal of the southern portion of the Existing Mall Property to make way for
a new to market approximately 150,000 SF retail building. Other portions of the Existing
Mall Property buildings will be renovated with new façade and store fronts and
reconstructed to have exterior pedestrian access rather than the current interior hallway
entrances. Other new land use improvements will be made, such as a hotel, multi-family
dwellings, restaurants, entertainment, retail and services. Existing asbestos conditions and
other environmental issues will be corrected and remediated. Significant portions of the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 144 / 314

site will be regraded and reshaped. Utilities will be added, updated and extended. Major
portions of the parking area will be removed, updated and/or resurfaced. Certain common
access drives and street improvements will be improved to address the inadequacies
described in the Blight and Substandard Study. New signage and improved landscaping
and streetscape will also be updated and enhanced.

Redevelopment Project Area include the following five proposed sources:

City of Grand Island Funding Contribution – Year 1 funding contribution of
$5,500,000 used towards required public infrastructure eligible project expenses
Lastly, upon opening of all the Sub-Project Redevelopment Areas as described below, this
Redevelopment Project would create approximately $3,061,125 in Annual Sales Tax
Revenue for the City of Grand Island, $252,525 in additional Food & Beverage tax receipts
shortly after the opening of Conestoga Marketplace and beginning in year 21
approximately $2,803,189 in additional property taxes. Woodsonia has the necessary
properties under control until year end 2022 and has requested City to expedite the
incentive and entitlement process to be completed while still controlling the Project Site.

Redevelopment Project Area:
The “Redevelopment Project Area” is the area where it is proposed that the
Redevelopment Project’s public improvements and enhancements will be implemented:
“Redevelopment Project Area”
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 149 / 314
14
Sub-Redevelopment Project Areas:
The Redevelopment Project Area may be redeveloped in up to five different phases
(individual “Sub-Redevelopment Project Area” and collectively “Sub-Redevelopment
Project Areas”) as described below:
“Sub-Redevelopment Project Area”
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 150 / 314
15
Depending upon market conditions, certain Sub-Redevelopment Project Areas may be
simultaneously developed and/or implemented in different numerical order than listed
above. The redevelopment contract will be structured so it allows the Redeveloper to add
buildings and improvement for up to ten years. No single Sub-Redevelopment Project
Area will be eligible for TIF for a period of more than 20 years.
Project Area’s Existing Land Use and Zoning:
The Project Site’s current land uses include retail, commercial, services and entertainment
and is currently zoned, Commercial Development Zone (CD).
Tax Increment Financing and TIF Note(s):
The CRA and the City will issue the Redeveloper a tax increment financing revenue
note(s), bond(s) or other form(s) of indebtedness (collectively “TIF Note”) in the amount
of up to $26,257,000. The TIF Note proceeds will be used to pay for the design and
installation of the above-described public improvements and public enhancements.
The TIF Note will only be repaid from the incremental (increased) ad valorem real property
taxes from the Project Site developed as part of the overall Redevelopment Project. The
capture of the incremental ad valorem real estate taxes is proposed. The real property ad
valorem taxes on the current Existing Mall Property valuation will continue to be paid to
the normal taxing entities. The increased tax increment will come from development of
the Project Site as the Redevelopment Project progresses in phases.
The Redeveloper expects the build out of the Project Site in Sub-Redevelopment Project
Areas. The division of taxes from the Project Site for each Sub-Redevelopment Project
Area, for purposes of paying the TIF Note, will occur on or before completion of each
applicable phase as provided in the redevelopment contract. The TIF Note will be paid off
on the earlier date of twenty years after the applicable effective date of each Sub-
Redevelopment Project Area or whenever the applicable tax increment indebtedness is
fully repaid (“Tax Increment Period”). The TIF Note will not be backed by or paid by
the City, CRA or their taxpayers. In the event the incremental taxes are not sufficient to
pay off the TIF Note, the Redeveloper (or its lender) will be liable and not the City or CRA.
This Redevelopment Plan does not provide for the capture of incremental ad valorem real
property taxes on any real estate other than the Project Site.
Statutory Pledge of Property 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 CRA hereby provides that any ad valorem
tax on the Project Site for the benefit of any public body be divided for a period of twenty
years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in the redevelopment contract or
redevelopment contract amendment, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. This
Redevelopment Plan anticipates that the entire 60 acre Redevelopment Project will be
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 151 / 314
16
developed in several phases as described in this Redevelopment Plan. Woodsonia
anticipates that each Sub-Redevelopment Project Area of the Redevelopment Project may
constitute a new effective date for the purposes of determining the period of 20 years.
Improvements for the overall Redevelopment Project may be constructed prior to the
development of later phases and eligible expenses from those improvements not covered
by early phases may be applied to later phases for reimbursement by TIF funds generated
in the later phases. 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 CRA 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 CRA 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 CRA 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 TIF Note.
Occupation Tax Enhanced Employment Area (EEA) and EEA Notes:
This Redevelopment Plan includes a proposal for the designation of the Project Site as an
Enhanced Employment Area (EEA) within the Extremely Blighted and Substandard Area.
To designate the Project Site as an EEA pursuant to the Act, the Redevelopment Project
Area cannot exceed six hundred acres. In addition, the EEA will need to result in at least
fifteen (15) new employees and new investment of at least one million dollars
($1,000,000.00). Any business that has 135,000 square feet or more and annual gross sales
of ten million dollars or more shall provide an employer-provided health benefit of at least
three thousand dollars annually to all new employees who are working thirty hours per
week or more on average and have been employed at least six months. [§18-2116]
The Act authorizes the City and CRA to implement and provide grants for public
improvements, public enhancements and redevelopment project improvements in order to
accomplish the proposed Redevelopment Project within the EEA in accordance with the
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 152 / 314
17
Redevelopment Plan. The City and CRA believes that the redevelopment of the
Redevelopment Project Area and Enhanced Employment Area are in the vital and best
interest of the City and is in furtherance of the health, safety, and welfare of its residents,
and is in accordance with the public purposes and provisions of applicable laws.
The CRA and the City will issue the Redeveloper EEA / Occupation Tax note(s), bond(s)
or other form(s) of indebtedness (collectively “EEA Note”) in the amount of up to
$36,763,000. The EEA Note proceeds will be used to pay for the design and installation
of the above-described public improvements and public enhancements.
The City may levy a general business occupation tax upon categories of businesses within
the Enhanced Employment Area for the purpose of paying all or any part of the costs of
the eligible improvements and enhancements. The City and CRA will pledge the EEA /
Occupation Tax generated from the EEA to repay the EEA Notes.
The Redeveloper expects the build out of the Project Site in Sub-Redevelopment Project
Areas. The division of the EEA / Occupation Tax of the Project Site for each Sub-
Redevelopment Project Area may be provided in the redevelopment contract. The EEA
Note will be paid off on the earlier date of thirty years after the applicable effective date of
each Sub-Redevelopment Project Area or whenever the applicable EEA / Occupation Tax
indebtedness is repaid (“EEA / Occupation Tax Period”). The EEA Note will not be
backed by or paid by the City, CRA or their taxpayers. In the event the EEA / Occupation
Tax is not sufficient to pay off the EEA Note, the Redeveloper (or its lender) will be liable
and not the City or CRA. This Redevelopment Plan does not provide for the capture of the
EEA / Occupation Tax on any real estate other than the Project Site.
CRA Funding Contribution:
The CRA may file with the City an estimate of the amounts necessary to be appropriated
by the City Council to defray the expense of the CRA and to defray any expenses of
redevelopment plans and projects, including the payment of principal and interest on any
bonds issued to pay the cost of any such redevelopment plans and projects. The Act
authorizes the City to grant funds to the CRA for the purpose of carrying out any of the
CRA’s powers and functions under the Act. To obtain funds for this purpose, the City may
levy and collect taxes not to exceed two and six-tenths cents on each one hundred dollars
upon the taxable value of the taxable property within the City and may issue and sell its
bonds in the manner and within the limitations provided by the Act and prescribed by the
laws of the State of Nebraska for any public purpose. [§18-2140]
To assist in the implementation of this Redevelopment Project, the City and CRA may fund
and pledge up to $4,000,000 for the purpose of paying all or any part of the costs of the
eligible Redevelopment Project’s public improvements and enhancements as described
herein.
Grow Grand Island Contribution:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 153 / 314
18
Grow Grand Island, Inc. is a collaborative & comprehensive approach to growth and
progress for the area. It focuses on 1) business growth and job creation; 2) skilled &
sustainable workforce pipeline; 3) talent attraction & retention; 4) elevating the standard
of living for residents; and 5) increasing engagement & collaboration. Its collaborative
efforts include working with the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development
Corporation, Convention & Visitors Bureau, City of Grand Island and Hall County.
The Redeveloper is seeking a $1.0 million public purpose grant from Grow Grand Island
to bring the Redevelopment Project to fruition and generate new jobs, increase quality of
life and boost Grand Island’s trade area and economic growth.
City of Grand Island Contribution:
To assist in the implementation of this Redevelopment Project, and the accompanying
necessary and substantial public infrastructure costs, the City may fund $5,500,000 for the
purpose of paying all or any part of the costs of the eligible public infrastructure costs and
public improvements located in public right of way and easements.
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN COMPLIES WITH THE ACT:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Redevelopment Plan meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1.The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared Extremely Blighted and
Substandard by action of the Grand Island City Council.
Such Extremely Blighted and Substandard declaration was made after a public hearing with
full compliance with the public notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2.Conformance with the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103
(27) and §18-2110]
Grand Island has adopted a general plan, known as the Comprehensive Plan on July 13,
2004, as amended (“Comprehensive Plan”). It is anticipated that any required changes
to the overall plan of development for the Commercial Development Zone (CD) and
Residential Development Zone (RD) will be interpreted as a change to the future land use
map in the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, this Redevelopment Project will be consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a
public hearing at their meeting on November 14, 2022 and passed Resolution 2023-05
confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of
Grand Island.
3.The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the
following items: [§18-2111]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 154 / 314
19
a.Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for the Project Site provides for real property fee
and leasehold acquisitions by the Redeveloper and other commercial
entities. In appropriate situations, the City or CRA may assemble parcels
and acquire the necessary fee titles, easements, leases, covenants and other
property rights through voluntary negotiation in order to assist in repairs or
rehabilitation of structures or improvements or to carry out plans for a
program of voluntary or compulsory repair and rehabilitation of buildings
or other improvements. If voluntary agreement is not possible and, to the
extent permitted by law, the City or CRA may institute eminent domain
proceedings. If the City or CRA dispose of any real property, it will be at
fair value as required by the Act.
b.Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The Redevelopment Project requires the demolition of approximately
300,000 square feet of existing buildings structures and approximately 35
acres of parking lot improvements.
c.Future Land Use Plan:
The Commercial Development Zone (CD) and proposed Residential
Development Zone (RD) will permit the Redevelopment Project’s land
uses. The Redevelopment Project is located within the corporate limits of
the City and conforms to the Comprehensive Plan with approval of
proposed amendments. Said zoning will cause the Redevelopment Project
to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. [§18-2103(27), 18-2111
and §18-2112]
d.Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or
ordinances or other Planning changes:
The area is zoned Commercial Development Zone (CD). The property has
historically been operated as an enclosed shopping center. The plan for a
mixed-use Redevelopment Project at this location may require changes to
the overall plan of development. New streets, storm drainage and other
public improvements and enhancements are planned as part of the
Redevelopment Project in a manner consistent with the Commercial
Development Zone (CD). It is anticipated that the area identified as Project
Area #2 will be rezoned for residential development. It is anticipated that
TIF and EEA revenues will help offset the costs of those improvements. No
changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances. [§18-2103(b) and
§18-2111]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 155 / 314
20
e.Site Coverage and Intensity of Use:
The proposed Sub-Redevelopment Project Area will meet the Commercial
Development Zone (CD) and Residential Development Zone (RD)
coverage and intensity of use requirements. The overall planned density of
the Redevelopment Project is less than permitted. [§18-2102 and §18-2111]
f.Additional Public Facilities or Utilities:
Sanitary sewer and water are available to support the Redevelopment
Project. Both sanitary sewer and water will need to be updated and extended
throughout the site. Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of
the Redevelopment Project Area. Electric and other utilities lines will need
to be modified or extended throughout the property.
Publicly and privately owned utilities are not expected to be negatively impacted
by the Redevelopment Project. [§18-2103(28) and §18-2111] TIF and EEA /
Occupation Tax revenues will be used to help offset the cost of any public and
private utility improvements.
4.The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals
and families displaced as a result of plan implementation:
This Redevelopment Plan will not require the displacement or relocation of individuals or
families. [§18-2103.02]
5.No member of the CRA nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106]
No members of the CRA hold an interest in property within the Redevelopment Project
Area.
6.Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the CRA consider:
(a) Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to the Redeveloper.
See attached Exhibit A for Redevelopment Project Budget. The Redeveloper will
acquire the initial Project Site for $16,000,000. In appropriate situations, the City
or CRA may assemble parcels and acquire the necessary fee titles, easements,
leases, covenants and other property rights in order to assist in repairs or
rehabilitation of structures or improvements or to carry out plans for a program of
voluntary or compulsory repair and rehabilitation of buildings or other
improvements. The cost for rehabilitation and demolition of the existing structures
are estimated at $39,600,000 and onsite improvements, including the extension of
utilities are estimated at $8,800,000. TIF eligible expenses and EEA / Occupation
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 156 / 314
21
Tax eligible expenses are estimated to exceed $67,000,000. Final figures shown in
Exhibit A are estimates and subject to changes based upon specific site plans,
design specifications, City approvals and public regulations.
In appropriate situations, the City or CRA may assemble parcels and acquire the
necessary fee titles, easements, leases, covenants and other property rights through
voluntary negotiation in order to assist in repairs or rehabilitation of structures or
improvements or to carry out plans for a program of voluntary or compulsory repair
and rehabilitation of buildings or other improvements.
(b) Statement of proposed method of financing the Redevelopment Project.
Outside of the TIF, EEA / Occupation Tax, CRA Funding Contribution, Grow
Grand Island Funding Contribution and City of Grand Island Funding Contribution
as described above, the Redeveloper will provide all necessary financing for the
balance of the Redevelopment Project.
(c) Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this Redevelopment Plan.
7.Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an CRA
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 CRA has considered these elements in proposing this Redevelopment Plan. This
Redevelopment Plan 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, commercial development and recreational / entertainment opportunities
within the City of Grand Island and encouraging infill development.
8. Time Frame for Development
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 157 / 314
22
The Redevelopment Project is anticipated to begin in 2023. The Redevelopment Plan will
include up to five Sub-Redevelopment Project Areas and will likely span the course of a
maximum ten-year period between 2023 and 2033. It is anticipated that this
Redevelopment Plan and the accompanying incentives facilitated to support the
Redevelopment Plan will result in increased property values, sales taxes and significant
economic stimulus to the City beginning in 2024 and continuing thereafter for decades to
come – See attached Exhibit B.
9. Justification of Project
(A)LOSS PREVENTION:
As discussed in the Introduction above, the Conestoga Mall has been an integral part
of Grand Island’s community for nearly 50 years, dating back to its original
construction in 1971. However, with the rise of e-commerce, the loss of three of the
four primary mall anchors and the lack of investment, the Existing Mall Property has
struggled to thrive in this changing retail environment. The Existing Mall Property has
been in steady decline with property tax valuations dropping approximately
$10,000,000 (50%) over the past 20 years and tenant sales falling over 40% over the
prior eight years.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 158 / 314
23
The Existing Mall Property is rapidly declining and without direct intervention, it is
expected to continue to decay and progress in its Extremely Blighted and Substandard
state. See Enclosed Exhibit D – Extremely Blighted Determination Study completed
by Marvin Planning Consultants. Further, an asbestos inspection was conducted by
Heartland Testing & Consulting, which details the significant asbestos remediation
requirements.
(B)FORWARD BENEFIT:
The Retail Sales Impact Analysis for the Conestoga Mall Redevelopment, completed
by Canyon Research (Exhibit C) (“Market Study”), estimated the Grand Island MSA
retail sales leakage of between $61.4 million to $81.7 million. According to the Market
Study, the proposed Conestoga Marketplace is forecast to generate stabilized annual
sales of $150.9 to $165.1 million ($146.2 to $160.1 million excluding hotel sales), with
net new sales to the City of Grand Island estimated to account for 42 to 51 percent of
total annual sales.
Proposed Conestoga Mall Redevelopment
Estimated Sales
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 159 / 314
24
Secondarily, the direct net new sales generated by the Redevelopment Project and
captured by the City of Grand Island would also produce a spinoff effect on Grand
Island’s retail market in the form of indirect sales, estimated at $24.6 million to
$32.7 million.
Lastly, based on the Redeveloper’s projections, and upon opening of all Sub-Project
Redevelopment Areas, the Redevelopment Project would create approximately
$2,295,844 in Annual Sales Tax Revenue for the City of Grand Island, $252,525 in
additional Food & Beverage Occupation Tax shortly after the opening of Conestoga
Marketplace and beginning in year 21 approximately $2,803,189 in additional
property taxes. See attached Exhibit B for City of Grand Island Fiscal Benefit.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis:
Section 18-2113 of the Act further requires the CRA to conduct a cost benefit analysis of
the Redevelopment Plan in the event that TIF will be used. This analysis must address
specific statutory issues. In addition to the analysis below, the attached Exhibit E provides
for a detailed “But For” Analysis.
As authorized by the Act the City analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $73,519,829 in public funds from TIF, EEA /
Occupation Tax, CRA Funding Contribution provided by the CRA and City, City of Grand
Island Funding Contribution and Grow Grand Island Funding Contribution will be required
to complete the Redevelopment Project. This investment by the City and CRA will
leverage $148,065,000 in private sector financing for a total of $221,584,845. See attached
Exhibit A for Redevelopment Plan Source and Use of Funds.
Tax Revenue. The redeveloped 60 acre Project Site is anticipated to have a January 1,
2024, valuation of approximately $8,000,000. Based on the 2022 levy this would result in
a real property tax of approximately $171,763. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $107,100,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
Redevelopment Project will result in an estimated tax increase of over $2,127,722 annually.
Annual Sales

% of Total 42.00%51.00%
*Notes: Excludes Hotel Sales.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 160 / 314
25
The tax increment gained from the Project Site would not be available for use as city
general tax revenues, for the period of the TIF Note, but would be used for eligible
redevelopment improvements and enhancements to enable this Redevelopment Project to
be realized.
Estimated 2024 assessed value: $ 8,000,000
Estimated value after completion $ 107,100,000
Increment value $ 99,100,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 2,127,222
TIF Note issue $ 26,257,076
(a)Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The Project Site currently has an estimated valuation of $8,000,000. The proposed
Redevelopment Project will create additional valuation of $99,100,000 over the course of
the next ten years. The Redevelopment Project creates additional valuation that will
support taxing entities long after the Redevelopment Project is paid off along with
providing approximately 305 additional housing units, modernized retail / commercial
space and a state-of-the-art entrainment / recreational opportunity. The tax shift from the
Redevelopment Project will be equal to the total of the TIF Note principal of $26,257,076
when fully funded and any associated interest on the TIF Note to be assigned with the
redevelopment 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 wastewater facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
Redevelopment Project. The utility systems have sufficient capacity to support the
Redevelopment Project. The infill development will connect to existing and improved
lines with capacity. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively
impacted by this Redevelopment Project. Public transportation and public parks are also
available and should not be negatively impacted by this Redevelopment Project.
(c)Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the Redevelopment Project;
The Redevelopment Project will serve as a major catalyst for transforming the
deteriorating mall, which is currently over 50% vacant, with three of the four major anchors
vacating the mall and eliminating their accompanying employees.
This Redevelopment Project will not only stop the existing deterioration but will
reposition and expand Grand Island’s prime commercial and retail trade areas. The
Redevelopment Project will be anchored by a nation’s top retail operator. At project
stabilization, the new and existing retailers are expected to employ over 500 new full-time
equivalent positions. In addition, construction employment on the anticipated
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 161 / 314
26
$190,000,000 in construction costs will increase during the anticipated 24 – 48 months
construction phases.
(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 Redevelopment Project
Area; and
As outlined in the Market Study (Exhibit C), the Redevelopment Project is anticipated
to create and additional $24.6 million to $32.7 million in ancillary “spin off” sales for
surrounding businesses in the immediate area. This increased demand will result in
additional employment opportunities within the immediate area. The construction of the
Redevelopment Project over the build out period will provide incremental local sales to
support construction and material workers during that time. This will also result in modest
upward pressure for jobs in the service and retail sector in other parts of the City.
(e)Impacts on the Student Populations of School Districts within the City.
The Redevelopment Project includes residential development. Thus, there may be an
increase in school age children and education cost impacts. The Grand Island Public
School District will not receive taxes from the mixed-use Redevelopment Project built
during the Tax Increment Period. To the extent that job opportunities may encourage the
relocation of other families outside the Redevelopment Project Area with school-age
students to the City, these students would likely be located across attendance areas and
would have the benefit of the property taxes paid toward these residential units in the
School District. After the TIF Bond is paid, or at the end of the respective 20 years of
division of taxes, whichever is sooner, the increased valuation from the Redevelopment
Project will be available to the School District as well as all the other taxing entities.
The proposed development is expected to include 305 residential units
ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms in each units. The mix of unit types has not been
determined. The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for
2017 to 2021 according the American Community Survey is 2.57. According
current census numbers 20.2% of the population of Grand Island was between
the ages of 5 and 18. If the averages hold it would be expected that 784 people
would be housed at this location and there would be a maximum of 158 school
age children generated by this development. The final mix of unit types is
likely to result in a lower number of school age residents.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the CRA to be relevant to the consideration of
costs and benefits arising from the Redevelopment Project.
Dating back to 2017, 25% of United States malls have closed their doors due to record-
high vacancy rates, drops in foot traffic and lack of updated entertainment offerings.
Changes in retail trade, shopping patterns and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 162 / 314

created issues. As with countless other shopping centers, Conestoga Mall has struggled via
its exposure to faltering anchor Tenants, including Younker’s, JC Penney, and Sears.
While the use of TIF will defer the incremental ad valorem real property taxes generated
by the Redevelopment Project for up to 20 years, there will be additional revenue generated
by the Redevelopment Project. For example, increase sales taxes paid by customers,
employees and neighbors dining, shopping and using services. This Redevelopment
Project will also require substantial purchases of materials during construction. A sizable
portion of the construction materials delivered to the construction site will be subject to
local sales tax of 1.5%. Materials purchased will result in increased local sales tax which
will benefit the City.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR FINDINGS
Canyon Research Southwest, Inc. has prepared the attached Retail Sales Impact Analysis for the
proposed redevelopment of Conestoga Mall located at 13th Street and U.S. Highway 281 in Grand
Island, Nebraska. The study estimates sales for the proposed New Anchor Store, entertainment /
theater operator, retail shops, restaurants, and hotel and net new sales captured by the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska. The study’s major findings are summarized below.
Trade Area Demographics
The proposed redevelopment of the Conestoga Mall will support retail trade areas defined as a
primary trade area within a 30-minute drive time, a secondary trade area within a 40-minute drive
time, and a tertiary trade area within a 50-minute drive time.
A trade area’s population demographics play a significant role in the demand for retail goods and
services. Of specific importance to the level and composition of a trade area’s supportable retail
market are population growth, age distribution, educational attainment, and household income.
The primary trade area within a 30-minute drive from the Conestoga Mall site supports a current
population of 92,493 residents, of which just 56.6 percent are Grand Island residents. The primary,
secondary, and tertiary trade area population is estimated at 166,105, with the City of Grand Island
accounting for just 31.5 percent of the total trade area population. Given Grand Island’s status
as a region shopping destination, this population disparity suggests the city captures
significant retail sales from nonresidents.
The population groups having the greatest impact on future retail expenditures include children (0
to 14 years) and family/working adults (35-44 years). These age groups favor retail expenditures
on apparel, accessories, groceries, sporting goods, music, consumer electronics, eating and
drinking places, entertainment, and general merchandise.
Trade area residents on average are slightly less educated than the statewide norm, supporting
higher rates of high school graduates as the highest level of educational attainment and lower rates
of residents 25 years and over possess an Associate degree of better. These lower educational
attainment trends are common within rural communities. The trade area’s educational attainment
rates will be more relevant on income levels than the retail expenditure patterns.
The entire trade area’s median household income of $62,551 compares to the statewide median of
$63,015, with slightly lower rates of households earning less than $35,000 and high-income
households earning $100,000 or more. Households earning $35,000 to $99,999 annually account
for 46.3 percent of the trade area households which exceeds the statewide rate. Income levels and
purchasing power for trade area households are only marginally lower than the state. The net
effect is achievable household retail expenditures comparable the state norm.

Competitive Retail Market Conditions
Grand Island serves as a regional shopping destination attracting customers from well outside the
City limits. Much of the reason for Grand Island’s regional draw is the presence of a large cluster
of major retailers not operating stores within a 40+ minute drive time.
Since fiscal year 2015-16, sales tax receipts collected by the City of Grand Island have increased
at an impressive average annual rate of 11.8 percent. The strong gains in sales tax collections are
an indication of Grand Island’s regional retail draw and the ability to attract shoppers and retail
expenditures from outside the city limits.
By the third quarter 2022 the inventory of retail space in the Grand Island market totaled 5.15
million square feet, operating at a healthy vacancy rate of 5.5 percent. From 2010 through 2021,
202,305 square feet of retail space was constructed in the Grand Island market and 232,761 square
feet of retail space was absorbed. With net space absorption outpacing new additions to supply,
the overall retail vacancy rate for the Grand Island market has remained healthy.
Grand Island supports two principal retail corridors. Locust Avenue south of Bismark Road
represents the older commercial corridor featuring a mix of chain restaurants, strip centers, and
hotels. Highway 281 represents the new retail corridor with large-scale shopping centers such as
Northwest Commons, Eagle Run, Grand Corners, and Conestoga Mall anchored by national big-
box retailers. Notable retailers operating along Highway 281 include Walmart, Sam’s Club,
Dillard’s, Best Buy, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, and Menards.
Grand Island’s resident population of 52,335 and estimated TAC of 74,239 residents illustrates the
city’s well above average capture of retail sales from nonresidents. The large concentration of
national retailers and distance to alternative shopping destinations in Lincoln, Omaha, and Kearney
accounts for the high trade area capture.
Grand Island’s pull factor of 1.42 indicates a retail sales capture at a rate 42 percent greater than
the statewide average. The pull factor suggests that nonresidents have a significant impact on
Grand Island’s taxable retail sales.
Conestoga Mall’s location within a regional shopping destination in the heart of the Highway 281
retail corridor offers the site characteristics that are favorable for supporting redevelopment with
a mix of anchor retailers, entertainment, small shops, and restaurant uses.
Retail Sales Estimates
Based on trade area demographics, the status of Grand Island as a regional shopping destination,
and the level of direct competition, stabilized sales for the proposed redevelopment of Conestoga
Mall are estimated at $151 to $165 million. Net new retail sales (excludes hotel revenues) to the
City of Grand Island are estimated to account for 42 to 51 percent of total store sales, amounting
to $61.4 million to $81.7 million. These additional net new sales captured by the City of Grand
Island would prove to increase the City’s pull factor from a current rate of 1.42 to a range of 1.48
to 1.50.

The direct net new sales generated by the proposed Conestoga Mall redevelopment and captured
by the City of Grand Island would also produce a spinoff effect on Grand Island’s retail market in
the form of indirect sales, estimated at $24.6 million to $32.7 million annually.

INTRODUCTION
Study Objective and Organization
Plans call for redevelopment of Conestoga Mall located at 13th Street and Highway 281 in Grand
Island, Nebraska. The purpose of Retail Sales Impact Analysis is to estimate the sales for the
proposed New Anchor Store, entertainment / theater operator, retail shops, restaurants, and hotel
and net new sales captured by the City of Grand Island, Nebraska.
The Retail Sales Impact Analysis is segmented into four sections, including: 1) a trade area
demographic analysis, 2) retail market analysis, 3) site evaluation, and 4) retail sales projections
for the New Anchor Store, entertainment / theater operator, junior anchors, and restaurants.
The Demographic and Economic Analysis section will identify the trade area’s demographic
characteristics including population and household growth trends, household types, household
incomes, and educational attainment. The trade area’s demographic profile affects consumer
spending patterns.
The Retail Market Analysis section measures Grand Island’s historic trends in retail sales, trade
area capture, retail pull factor, survey of existing major anchor and junior anchor stores, movie
theaters, and national chain restaurants operating in Grand Island, and trade area retail sales for
department stores, junior anchors, entertainment, and restaurants.
The Site Analysis evaluates the property’s ability to facilitate redevelopment of the Conestoga
Mall into the proposed anchored shopping center. Evaluation criteria include parcel size; visibility
and exposure; accessibility; traffic counts; critical mass of retail space; and direct competition.
Based on the study findings annual retail sales at stabilization for the proposed retail components
will be forecast and net new sales captured by the City of Grand Island estimated.
Project Overview
Conestoga Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located at 13th Street and Highway 281 in Grand
Island, Nebraska. Ericson Development of Edina, Minnesota, built the mall in 1974, anchored by
Miller & Paine and Brandeis. Later mall expansions brought Sears, JC Penney, and J.M.
McDonald, a regional department store chain. Dillard’s purchased Miller & Paine in 1988, and
Younkers purchased Brandeis in 1987. Best Buy serves as a junior anchor, located in a portion of
the former J.M. McDonald space. At 545,000 square feet of retail space on 57 acres, Conestoga
Mall is the largest enclosed shopping mall between Lincoln, Nebraska and Denver, Colorado.
The Younkers store closed in August 2018 with the liquidation of its owner, Bon-Ton Stores. The
Sears store closed in early 2019 as part of the retailer’s plan to close 40 stores. The JC Penney
store closed in October 2020. Dillard’s is the mall’s only remaining anchor tenant. Other notable
mall tenants include AMC Theatres, American Eagle Outfitters, Bath & Body Works, Buckle,
Foot Locker, JoAnn Fabrics, Maurices, and rue21.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 177 / 314
Canyon Research Southwest, Inc. 2
In 2003, J. Herzog & sons purchased the mall from the Richard E. Jacobs Group and in 2017, New
York-based Namdar Realty Group purchased the property.
Woodsonia Hwy 281, LLC has plans to redevelop the 50.6-acre Conestoga Mall property with the
conceptual project plan depicted on page 3. Referred to as the Conestoga Marketplace, the plan
calls for the mall property to be transformed into a mixed-use development featuring anchor
tenants, small shop space, ten outparcels accommodating restaurants and retail shops, a 150-room
hotel, and 304 apartment units over structured parking. At build-out, the Conestoga Marketplace
will occupy 366,938 square feet of retail space, 150 hotel rooms, and 304 apartment units.
Approximately 150,000 square feet of the mall’s existing retail space will remain and be upgraded
to include the 25,000 square foot Best Buy store, 38,000 square foot movie theatre/entertainment
complex, and 87,000 square feet of shop space. A new 147,863 square foot New Anchor Store
will serve as the project’s major anchor tenant.

DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
This section of the report examines consumer-related demographic factors impacting the proposed
redevelopment of the Conestoga Mall into the Conestoga Marketplace, including population and
household growth trends, age distribution, educational attainment, and household income.
Demographic data was provided by Esri Business Analyst, a national demographic research firm.
Quantifying these demographic characteristics will assist in projecting future sales for the
proposed redeveloped Conestoga Marketplace.
Trade Area Defined
Customers residing closest to the proposed Conestoga Marketplace will have the greatest impact
on store sales, with customer influence diminishing as the distance increases. Trade areas are
usually divided into three categories or zones of influence, each of which is defined below.
Primary Trade Area: The primary trade area draws 70 to 80 percent of a retail
store’s regular customers.
Secondary Trade Area: The secondary trade area generates about 15 to 20
percent of a store’s total sales.
Tertiary Trade Area: The tertiary trade area forms the broadest area from which
a store draws customers. The tertiary trade area generates a small percentage of
store sales.
Grand Island, Nebraska serves as a regional shopping destination for south-central Nebraska.
Other factors influencing the retail trade area composition include the location of sister stores,
extent of direct competition, area transportation network and drive times, population density, and
geographic barriers.
Target, for example, operates 14 stores in Nebraska, including six in Omaha and three in Lincoln.
The closest Target stores to Grand Island is in Kearney, Nebraska 43 miles to the west along
Interstate 80. The closest Target store to the east is in Lincoln, 99 miles from Grand Island. For
further comparison, Walmart operates 42 stores in Nebraska with two locations in Grand Island.
The closest other Walmart stores are in Hastings 21 miles to the south, York 40 miles to the east,
and Kearney 41 miles to the west
Grand Island’s regional transportation network includes Interstate 80 providing east-west access
throughout Nebraska, linking Grand Island with Lincoln and Omaha to the east and Kearney to
the west. U.S. Highways 281/34 provide north-south access to such area cities as Hastings,
Doniphan, and St. Paul. Therefore, the Conestoga Marketplace site benefits from excellent
regional access and the opportunity to capitalize on a large trade area population and customer
base. The retail trade areas for the proposed Conestoga Marketplace are defined as a primary trade
area within a 30-minute drive time, a secondary trade area within a 40-minute drive time, and a
tertiary trade area within a 50-minute drive time. The trade areas boundaries are illustrated on the
following page.

A trade area’s population demographics play a significant role in the demand for retail goods and
services. Of specific importance to the level and composition of a trade area’s supportable retail
market are population growth, age distribution, educational attainment, and household income.
The balance of this section of the study will address the Conestoga Mall’s trade area demographics.

Population Growth Trends
Trade area population size and growth are key components for quantifying supportable retail sales
volumes. The table below outlines trade area population growth from 2010 through 2022 as well
as 5-year population projections through 2027.
Trade Area Population Trends
Trade Area Total
Year Primary Secondary Tertiary Population
2010 Census 86,814 27,129 44,466 158,409

2022 Estimate 92,493 26,775 46,837 166,105
2027 Forecast 92,104 26,750 47,440 166,294
Source: Esri Business Analyst.
From 2010 to 2022, the entire trade area within a 50-minute drive time recorded steady population
growth, increasing by 4.9 percent, adding nearly 7,700 new residents. By 2022, the primary,
secondary, and tertiary trade area population totaled 166,105. The trade area’s steady population
growth has fueled a growing demand for retail goods and services and the size of the population
is sufficient to support a diverse and deep retail market. From 2022 through 2027, Esri Business
Analyst forecasts the trade area population to remain flat, reaching 166,294 residents.
The City of Grand Island with 52,335 residents (U.S. Census estimate as of July 1, 2021)
accounts for just 31.5 percent of the total trade area population. Given Grand Island’s status
as a region shopping destination, this population disparity suggests the city captures
significant retail sales from nonresidents.
The primary trade area within a 30-minute drive time from the Conestoga Mall site supports a
current population of 92,493 residents, of which 56.6 percent are Grand Island residents. From
2010 to 2022, the primary trade area population increased by 6.5 percent, adding 5,679 residents.
By 2027, the primary trade population is forecast to decrease by 0.4 percent. The primary trade
area population outside of Grand Island consists primarily of rural communities with a limited
retail base, providing the opportunity to capture retail sales from outside of the city.
The secondary trade area within a 30- to 40-minute drive from the Conestoga Mall site supports a
current population of 26,775 residents, totaling 119,268 residents within a 40-minute drive time.
From 2010 to 2022, the secondary trade area population declined by 1.3 percent.

Population Age Distribution Trends
The age composition of a community’s population plays a significant role in expenditures for retail
goods and services. As a person ages their retail needs change. Each age group is at a different
stage in life and possesses differing retail needs.
The trade area population age distribution for 2022 is summarized in the table below by six primary
age groups, including children (0-14 years), adolescent (15-24 years), young adults (25 to 34
years), family/working adults (35-44 years); empty nesters (45-64 years) and elderly (65+ years).
Each age group possesses distinctively different consumption and housing needs.
Trade Area Population Age Distribution; 2022
Trade Area State
Age Group Primary Secondary Tertiary Average
0-14 Years 20.4% 20.0% 19.5% 20.7%

45-64 Years 24.3% 24.7% 23.9% 24.1%
65+ Years 18.0% 18.6% 18.3% 15.6%
Source: Esri Business Analyst.
Children ages 0 to 14 years are not consumers per say, but their presence within a household
generates retail expenditures on apparel, accessories, and groceries. This age group accounts for
19.5 percent to 20.4 percent of the trade area population which is slightly lower the statewide
average of 20.7 percent.
The adolescent population ages 15 to 24 is a key demographic for supporting the sales of apparel
and accessories, groceries, sporting goods, music, consumer electronics, eating and drinking
places, and general merchandise. Adolescents account for 12.1 percent to 13.1 percent of the
Andover population. By comparison, adolescents account for 13.9 percent of the Nebraska
population.
Young adults aged 25 to 34 years generally are new to the workforce. These tech savvy young
adults are heavy consumers of electronics, apparel and accessories, and entertainment. Young
adults account for 12.7 percent to 13.4 percent of the trade area population which compares to the
statewide rate of 13.3 percent.
The population ages 35 to 44 are in their child raising and principal consumer years, with
expenditures favoring hardware, furniture and home furnishings, consumer electronics,
department stores, and eating and drinking places. Family/working adults account for 11.8 percent
to 12.1 percent of the trade area population, compared to 12.5 percent of the statewide population.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 183 / 314
Canyon Research Southwest, Inc. 8
The empty nester population includes those individuals ages 45 to 64 years. The trade area’s
population ages 45 to 64 years account for 23.9 percent to 24.7 percent of the total population,
compared to 24.1 percent statewide. These empty nester age groups provide opportunities for
restaurants, entertainment, travel, and healthcare services.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, per capita retail expenditures by seniors 65+ years
old is 18 percent lower than those under the age of 35 years and 41 percent lower than people ages
35 to 64 years. Residents 65+ years of age account for 18.0 percent to 18.6 percent of the Andover
population, compared to 15.6 percent of the statewide population. The senior population poses a
growing market for healthcare goods and services.
The trade area’s age composition, except for a slightly larger senior population, is consistent with
the statewide norm and indicates it is a community of young families with children. The trade area
population’s age distribution is favorable for retail expenditures on apparel, accessories, groceries,
sporting goods, music, consumer electronics, eating and drinking places, entertainment, and
general merchandise.
Educational Attainment
Because income increases with advancing educational attainment communities with high
education levels support higher levels of retail expenditures. Trade area residents on average are
slightly less educated than the statewide norm, supporting higher rates of high school graduates as
the highest level of educational attainment and lower rates of residents 25 years and over possess
an Associate degree of better. These lower educational attainment trends are common within rural
communities. The trade area’s educational attainment rates will be more relevant on income levels
than the retail expenditure patterns.

Households earning less than $35,000 annually possess low purchasing power while high-income
households earning $100,000 or more possess much higher purchasing power and represent a
market for luxury automobiles, retail goods and services, travel, and entertainment.
The primary trade area’s median household income of $61,903 compares to the statewide median
of $63,015, with slightly lower rates of households earning less than $35,000 and high-income
households earning $100,000 or more.
An estimated 25.6 percent of secondary trade area households earn less than $35,000 annually
compared to 26.2 percent for Nebraska. High-income households earning $100,000 or more
account for 25.8 percent of primary trade area households compared to 27.2 percent statewide.
For the entire trade area an estimated 25.6 percent of households earn less than $35,000 compared
to 26.2 percent for Nebraska. High-income households earning $100,000 or more account for 26.4
percent of all trade area households compared to 27.2 percent statewide.
To conclude, income levels and purchasing power for trade area households are only marginally
lower than the state. The net effect is achievable household retail expenditures comparable the
state norm.

RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS
The Retail Market Analysis quantifies the ability of Grand Island to support additional near-term
retail development. In doing so, the study provides historic trends in City sales tax collections,
competitive retail market overview, trade area capture, retail pull factor trends, and traded area
home improvement supplies sales.
Grand Island Sales Tax Collections
The City of Grand Island provided actual sales tax receipts for fiscal years 2015-2016 through
2021-2022. The bar chart below provides an illustration of historical fiscal year trends in the City’s
sales tax receipts.
From fiscal year 2015-16 to fiscal year 2020-21, sales tax receipts collected by the City of Grand
Island increased by 58.1 percent, reaching $25.9 million. Through the first eleven months of fiscal
year 2021-22 sales tax receipts were up $3.0 million, or 12.7 percent over the same 11-month
timeframe during the prior fiscal year. The steady gains in sales tax collections are an indication
of Grand Island’s regional retail draw and the ability to attract shoppers and retail expenditures
from outside the city limits.
Grand Island Retail Market Overview
According to the Grand Island Retail Market Report published by CoStar, the Conestoga Mall is
located within the Grand Island market that consists of the City of Grand Island and several

The City of Grand Island supports two principal retail corridors. Locust Avenue south of Bismark
Road represents the older commercial corridor featuring a mix of chain restaurants, strip centers,
and hotels. Highway 281 on the far west side of Grand Island from U.S. Highway 30 north to
Capital Avenue represents the new retail corridor with large-scale shopping centers such as
Northwest Commons, Eagle Run, Grand Corners, and Conestoga Mall anchored by national big-
box retailers. Notable retailers operating along Highway 281 include Walmart, Sam’s Club,
Dillard’s, Best Buy, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, and Menards.

a redevelopment of the original enclosed Grand Island Mall. In addition to three new outparcels,
the development includes over 150,000 square feet of junior anchor and shops space designed with
a “main street” layout. Anchor tenants for Northwest Commons include Dick’s Sporting Goods,
Hibbett Sports, Shopko, Petco, and Burlington.
The Eagle Run shopping center at U.S. Highway 281 and Faidley Avenue is anchored by Home
Depot and Ashley Homestore. Outparcel tenants include Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden,
Panda Express, Panera Bread, Verizon, Exchange Bank, Freddy’s Frozen Custard, and Raising
Canes.
Conestoga Mall’s location within a regional shopping destination in the heart of the Highway 281
retail corridor offers the site characteristics that are favorable for supporting redevelopment with
a mix of big-box retailers, small shops, entertainment, and restaurant uses.

Trade Area Capture
Information about a community’s retail trade area can help assess the ability of local merchants to
attract and capture the retail business of residents. The trade area capture (“TAC”) is an estimate
of the number of people who shop in the local area during a certain period. TAC assumes that
residents will buy goods at the same rate as the state average, and that the only force that causes a
variation in spending patterns is income. The formula for calculating TAC is:
TAC = Community’s Actual Retail Sales
State Per Capita Sales X Community’s Per Capita Income/State Per Capita Income
If the TAC estimate is larger than the community’s population, it suggests: 1) the community is
attracting customers outside its boundaries or 2) residents of the community are spending more
than the state average. If the estimate is smaller than the community’s population: 1) the
community is losing its customers to other regions for retail purchases or 2) residents of the
community are spending less than the state average.
During FY 2020-21, the City of Grand Island’s sales tax collections totaled $25,911,090. At the
City sales tax rate of 2.0 percent, taxable retail sales amounted to $1.3 billion.
During 2021, non-automobile taxable retail sales in Nebraska totaled $39,902,075,895. The U.S.
Census estimated the population for Nebraska at 1,963,692 residents, equating to per capita sales
of $20,320.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Grand Island’s population is estimated at 52,335 residents
with a per capita income of $28,517.
The U.S. Census estimated the population for Nebraska at 1,963,692 residents and per capita
income of $33,205.
$1,295,554,500
Trade Area Capture = $20,320 x ($28,517 / $33,205) = 74,239 Residents
Grand Island’s resident population of 52,335 and estimated TAC of 74,239 residents illustrates the
city’s well above average capture of retail sales from nonresidents.
Grand Island’s large concentration of national retailers that operate along the Highway 281
corridor and distance to alternative shopping destinations in Lincoln, Omaha, and Kearney
accounts for the high trade area capture.

Retail Pull Factor
Pull factors (“PF”) measure a community’s ability to attract shoppers, residents and non-residents
alike, to make retail purchases within the community. A pull factor is a measure of the strength
of a community’s retail trade, based on a comparison of local spending in relation to that of a wider
geographic area (e.g., the state), with a measure of 1.0 representing a perfect balance. A pull factor
greater than 1.0 indicates that the community is pulling in retail sales from beyond its boundaries
and the balance of trade is favorable. Alternatively, a pull factor less than 1.0 indicates that the
community is not capturing local shoppers and is experiencing retail sales leakage. Pull factors
are calculated by dividing the TAC by the community’s population.
PF = Trade Area Capture
Community Population
Grand Island’s pull factor was calculated by dividing the TAC population of 74,239 by the
estimated resident population of 52,335. The net result is a pull factor of 1.42, translating into a
retail sales capture at a rate 42 percent greater than the statewide average. This pull factor suggests
that nonresidents have a significant impact on Grand Island’s taxable retail sales.
Trade Area Retail Sales
Most retail sales for the proposed Conestoga Marketplace will be derived from the primary and
secondary trade areas. This section of the study quantifies potential primary and secondary trade
area sales of principal retail merchandise categories. Potential retail sales estimates by industry
group were provided by Esri Business Analyst’s Spending Potential Index and derived from the
Consumer Expenditure Surveys published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Spending
Potential Index is household based and represents the amount spent for a product or service relative
to a national average of 100. Annual retail sales for both the trade areas are outlined in the table
on the following page.
The principal retail industry groups account for potential annual retail sales of $867 million within
the primary trade area and $266 million within the secondary trade area, for a total of $1.13 billion.
During fiscal year 2020-21, the City of Grand Island reported taxable retail sales of $1.3 billion.
With the Spending Potential Index based on the national average, applying Grand Island’s
retail pull factor of 1.42 suggests the potential exists for the city to capture up to $1.6 billion
of retail expenditures.

The proposed Conestoga Marketplace will be anchored by a new to market Anchor Store. The
closest comparable anchor store would be Target in Kearney located 43 miles west of the
Conestoga Marketplace site. Like many retail industry groups, department stores tend to cluster
together which create a major customer destination and drive increased sales volumes. Walmart
and Same’s Club operate stores in Grand Island. The location of direct competition and
comparable store in Kearney provides the opportunity for the proposed New Anchor Store at
Conestoga Marketplace to serve an expanded retail trade area and capturing significant out-of-
town sales volumes.

SITE EVALUATION
Retail developers and major retailers evaluate potential sites based on a series of site-specific
criteria. Common selection criteria when evaluating prospective development sites include parcel
size and dimensions, visibility and exposure, accessibility, traffic counts, trade area demographics,
and direct competition. Using these site selection criteria, the proposed Conestoga Mall
redevelopment site was evaluated for the potential to support development of an anchored
shopping center.
Parcel Size and Dimensions
Redevelopment of Conestoga Mall is classified as a power center. A power center is occupied by
category-dominant anchors, including discount department stores, off-price stores, wholesale
clubs, with only a few small tenants. The gross building area for a power center ranges from
250,000 square feet to 600,000 square feet.
To accommodate the building sizes and associated parking and retention requirements, power
center development sites typically range in size from 25 to 80 acres. A square or rectangular site
is best suited for store design.
The Conestoga Mall site is rectangular and totals 50.6 acres. The project plan calls for 366,938
square feet of retail space, including major anchors, small shops, and outparcels designed for
restaurants and shop space,
Visibility
Visibility and exposure have a considerable influence on a shopping center’s achievable retail sales
volumes. Power centers should possess visibility from a highway or major arterial street.
The Conestoga Mall site is located at the interchange of U.S. Highway 281 and 13th Street,
providing the visibility required by major and junior anchors, small shops, and outparcels.
Accessibility
Power center sites rely on an efficient local transportation network that typically includes a mix of
major and minor arterial streets.
Interstate 80 is located a short distance south of the Conestoga Mall site with a major interchange
at U.S. Highway 34/281. Convenient access to Interstate 80 and north-south connect to U.S.
Highway 34/281 will afford convenient regional access.
Local vehicular access to the Conestoga Mall site provided via Grand Island’s major arterial
network. Both 13th Street and U.S. Highway 281 will provide the site with adequate local
accessibility and on-site ingress and egress.
The Conestoga Mall site’s regional, local, and on-site vehicular access is sufficient to
accommodate development of a power center.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 193 / 314
Canyon Research Southwest, Inc.
18
Traffic Counts
The vehicular traffic counts on arterial streets that flow past the site are important when evaluating
a potential retail development site.
Average daily traffic counts for 2021 reported by the Nebraska Department of Transportation past
the Conestoga Mall site are 19,450 vehicles on U.S. Highway 81 north of 13th Street. The high
average daily traffic count provides exposure suitable for development of a power center.
Trade Area Demographics
Grand Island’s retail trade area within a 50-minute drive time supports a current population of
166,105 residents and a median household income of $62,511. The large adolescent population is
sufficient for supporting the sales of apparel and accessories; groceries; sporting goods; music;
home electronics; eating and drinking places; and general merchandise. The large population ages
25 to 44 are in their principal consumer years, favors hardware; furniture and home furnishings;
home electronics; department stores; and eating and drinking places. The growing senior
population generates demand for medical goods and services. Over 42 percent of households earn
$75,000 or more per year that is ideal for supporting above average per capita retail sales. These
consumption patterns and demographic characteristics bode well for the potential of Grand Island
to support a diverse retail market.
Competition
Grand Island serves as a regional retail destination garnering a retail pull factor of 1.42, indicating
retail sales at a rate 42 percent greater than the statewide average. Highway 281 is the city’s premiere
retail corridor housing such major national retailers as Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kohl’s, Dick’s
Sporting Goods, Home Depot, Menard’s, Best Buy, and TJ Maxx.
Like many types of retail businesses, big-box stores and chain restaurants tend to cluster together
which create a major customer destination and drive increased sales volumes. The Conestoga
Mall’s location within Grand Island’s principal retail corridor will assist in attracting retailers to
the redevelopment project.
Conclusions
The Conestoga Mall site in Grand Island possess the necessary characteristics to support
redevelopment into a power center, offering the necessary size, dimensions, visibility,
accessibility, exposure, and trade area demographics. The site’s presence within the U.S. Highway
81 retail corridor and Grand Island’s status as a retail destination supporting a regional trade area
creates the necessary retail environment for redevelopment of Conestoga Mall.

Forecast Retail Sales
The project plan calls for a 147,863 square foot New Anchor Store to anchor the redeveloped
Conestoga Mall. The closest comparable store to the New Anchor Store in Grand Island is in
Kearney 43 miles to the west and Lincoln 99 miles to the east. The New Anchor Store’s principal
competitors in Grand Island are Walmart and Sam’s Club.
Target, as used as an example for the New Anchor Store, is a department store chain that operates
1,926 stores throughout the United States, including 14 stores in Nebraska. Target sells a wide
assortment of general merchandise and food. The majority of the general merchandise stores offer
an edited food assortment, including perishables, dry grocery, dairy, and frozen items. The average
store size is 126,000 square feet, with 79 percent of all stores ranging in size from 50,000 square
feet to 169,999 square feet. The stores in Nebraska average 143,200 square feet in size.
During 2021, Target’s gross sales totaled $104.6 billion, averaging $54.3 million per store and
$437 per square foot of store space. A reported 96.4 percent of gross sales were instore sales. In
2021, comparable store sales by 12.7 percent, on top of record 19.3 percent growth in 2020. Sales
by product category included 26 percent beauty and household essentials, 20 percent food and
beverage, 19 percent home furnishings and décor, 18 percent hardlines, and 17 percent apparel and
accessories.
Target shoppers tend to be between the ages of 18 and 44, though the most avid shoppers from
within this group are married women in their 30’s with a middle to upper-middle class income of
between $65,000 and $80,000 per year. Target shoppers tend to visit Target once every few weeks
and spend about $50 per visit. The 30-minute drive primary trade area supports a population of
92,493, 25 percent is between the ages of 25 and 44 years, and 35.7 percent of households possess
an annual income of $50,000 to $99,999.
Based on the above information and level of direct competition, trade area demographics, and
Grand Island’s regional draw, the proposed New Anchor Store’s stabilized year sales are forecast
at $450 to $475 per square foot, equating to $66.5 million to $70.2 million.
The 150,000 square feet of existing mall space will be upgraded and house the existing 25,000
square foot Best Buy store, 38,000 square foot movie theatre/entertainment complex, and 87,000
square feet of small shop space.
The existing 25,000 square foot Best Buy store will remain. Best Buy is a merchandiser of
consumer electronics, entertainment, computing and mobile phones, appliances, and services.
Computing and mobile phones account for 41 percent of gross sales, followed by consumer
electronics at 31 percent and appliances at 14 percent. Best Buy operates 982 U.S. stores and 160
international stores, with five stores in Nebraska. The closest Best Buy store to the Grand Island
location is in Lincoln, Nebraska approximately 100 miles to the east. The U.S. stores average
38,300 square feet of retail space.
During fiscal year 2022, Best Buy’s gross sales totaled $51.8 billion, averaging $45.3 million per
store and $1,253 per square foot of store space. In fiscal year 2022, comparable store sales by 10.4
percent, up from 9.7 percent growth in fiscal year 2021.

Stabilized year sales for the Best Buy store following redevelopment of Conestoga Mall are
forecast at $1,000 to $1,100 per square foot, equating to $25.0 million to $27.5 million.
The 38,000 square foot movie theatre/entertainment complex will have nine screens and expanded
food and beverage operations, including alcohol. Major movie theatre chains operating in the U.S.
include AMC and Cinemark.
AMC Entertainment Holdings is the world’s largest theatrical exhibition business and owns,
operates, or has interests in movie theatres primarily in the United States and Europe. As of
December 31, 2021, the company owned, leased, or operated 946 theatres and 10,562 screens in
12 countries, including 593 theatres with a total of 7,755 screens in the United States and 353
theatres and 2,807 screens in European markets and Saudi Arabia. U.S. theatres averaged 13
screens per theatre. During 2019 prior to the pandemic the U.S. theatres reported gross revenues
of $4.02 billion, averaging $6.33 million per theatre and $497,060 per screen. During 2020, as the
pandemic closed theatres, gross revenues dropped to $826.7 million, or $2.1 million per theatre
and $158,129 per screen. Operations improved in 2021 with gross revenues of $1.876 billion,
average sales per theatre of $3.16 million, and $241,883 per screen.
Cinemark Holdings operate in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United
States and Latin America. As of December 31, 2021, the company operated 522 theatres and 5,868
screens. U.S. theatres averaged 14 screens per theatre. As a result of the pandemic, domestic
theatres closed in March 2020 and began reopening in June 2020. It was not until mid-2021 until
all U.S. theatres reopened. During 2019 prior to the pandemic the U.S. theatres reported gross
revenues of $2.58 billion, averaging $7.48 million per theatre and $555,630 per screen. During
2020, gross revenues dropped to $556.9 million, or $1.68 million per theatre and $123,563 per
screen. Operations improved in 2021 with gross revenues of $1.293.6 billion, average sales per
theatre of $4.03 million, and $293,466 per screen.
The movie theater/entertainment complex is forecast to generate average annual sales of $525,000
to $550,000 per screen, for a total $4,725,000 to $4,950,000 per year at stabilization.
The Conestoga Mall project plan calls for the retaining and renovating 87,000 square feet of existing
shop space. Existing small shop tenants operating at the mall include such national retailers as
American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Buckle, Hallmark, Hot Topic, Lenscrafters, and others. Based
on sales reported by the National Retail Federation’s 100 Top Retailers, stabilized year sales for the
retained shop space are forecast at $300 per square foot to $350 per square foot of building area.
The Conestoga Mall project plan calls for the construction of a 150-room hotel. This analysis
assumed a limited-service hotel will occupy Parcel 1D. Examples of limited-service hotels operating
in Grand Island include Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, and Fairfield Inn. At a stabilized occupancy rate
of 65 percent and an average daily rate of $130 to $140, annual sales are estimated at $4.6 million to
$5.0 million.
The Conestoga Mall project plan calls for ten (10) outparcels designed for the construction of 69,075
square feet of retail space. Building areas for the outparcels range from 2,275 square feet to 14,000
square feet designed to accommodate restaurants and shop space.

Lots 2 and 8 are designed to be occupied by fast food restaurants, supporting buildings of 2,275 square
feet and 4,000 square feet, including drive-thru lanes. According to Nation’s Restaurant News, such
national fast food restaurant chains as Arby’s, Burger King, KFC, Popeye’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s,
and Starbuck’s Coffee reported average store sales of $1.05 million to $1.9 million, averaging
$1.45 million. Stabilized year sales for the planned fast food restaurants are forecast at $700 to $750

Garden, Chili’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Red
Robin, and IHOP reported average store sales of $1.35 million to $3.9 million, averaging $2.9
million. Stabilized year sales for the planned sit-down restaurants are forecast at $400 to $550 per
square foot.
Lots 1A, 1B, 1C, 4, and 9 are envisioned for freestanding shop space, accommodating 4,900 square
feet, 14,000 square feet, 10,000 square feet, 8,400 square feet, and 9,100 square feet of building area.
Freestanding shop space is typically tenanted by food and beverage and national retailers. Potential
tenant types include such chains Chipotle, Moe’s, Panera Bread, Five Guys, Jimmy John’s, Panda
Express, Ulta Beauty, AT&T, and Verizon. Based on sales reported by the National Retail
Federation’s 100 Top Retailers, stabilized year sales for the freestanding shop space are forecast at
$300 per square foot to $350 per square foot of building area.
Based on trade area demographics, the status of Grand Island as a regional shopping destination,
and the level of direct competition, stabilized sales for the proposed redevelopment of Conestoga
Mall are forecast at $151 to $165 million.

Net New Sales Capture
Given Grand Island’s status as a regional shopping destination the redeveloped Conestoga Mall
will capture net new sales from outside of the City of Grand Island. Excluding the hotel, stabilized
year retail sales for the redeveloped property are forecast at $146.2 million to $160.1 million.
The principal retail industry groups account for potential annual retail sales of $867 million within
the primary trade area and $266 million within the secondary trade area, for a total of $1.13 billion.
During fiscal year 2020-21, the City of Grand Island reported taxable retail sales of $1.3 billion.
Applying Grand Island’s retail pull factor of 1.42 suggests the potential exists for the city to capture
up to $1.6 billion of retail expenditures.
The primary trade area typically accounts for 70 to 80 percent of a retail store’s gross sales. The
Conestoga Mall’s primary trade area within a 30-minute drive time supports a current population
of 92,493 residents, of which just 31.5 percent are Grand Island residents. Comparable stores for
the New Anchor Store and Best Buy are located well outside the primary trade area. The primary
trade area exclusive of Grand Island is estimated to support 35 to 40 percent of forecast sales for
the proposed redeveloped Conestoga Mall, or $51.2 million to $64.1 annually.
The secondary trade area typically accounts for 15 to 20 percent of a retail store’s gross sales. The
secondary trade area within a 30- to 40-minute drive time from Grand Island supports a current
population of 26,775 residents. The secondary trade area supports $266 million in annual sales.
The secondary trade area is estimated to support 5 to 7 percent of forecast retail sales, or $7.3
million to $11.2 million annually.
The tertiary trade area forms the broadest area from which customers are drawn. A small
percentage of store sales are generated from this trade area. The tertiary trade area is estimated to
support 2 to 4 percent of forecast retail sales, or $2.9 million to $6.4 million annually.
To conclude, the redeveloped Conestoga Mall is forecast to generate stabilized annual retail sales
of $146.2 million to $160.1 million. Net new sales to the City of Grand Island are estimated to
account for 42 to 51 percent of total annual sales, amounting to $61.4 million to $81.7 million.

Conclusions
Grand Island serves as a regional shopping destination attracting customers from well outside the
City limits. Much of the reason for Grand Island’s regional draw is the presence of a large cluster
of major retailers not operating stores within a 40+ minute drive time.
Since fiscal year 2015-16, sales tax receipts collected by the City of Grand Island have increased
at an impressive average annual rate of 11.8 percent. The strong gains in sales tax collections are
an indication of Grand Island’s regional retail draw and the ability to attract shoppers and retail
expenditures from outside the city limits.
By the third quarter 2022 the inventory of retail space in the Grand Island market totaled 5.15
million square feet, operating at a healthy vacancy rate of 5.5 percent. From 2010 through 2021,
202,305 square feet of retail space was constructed in the Grand Island market and 232,761 square
feet of retail space was absorbed. With net space absorption outpacing new additions to supply,
the overall retail vacancy rate for the Grand Island market has remained healthy.
Grand Island supports two principal retail corridors. Locust Avenue south of Bismark Road
represents the older commercial corridor featuring a mix of chain restaurants, strip centers, and
hotels. Highway 281 represents the new retail corridor with large-scale shopping centers such as
Northwest Commons, Eagle Run, Grand Corners, and Conestoga Mall anchored by national big-
box retailers. Notable retailers operating along Highway 281 include Walmart, Sam’s Club,
Dillard’s, Best Buy, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Home Depot, and Menards.
Grand Island’s resident population of 52,335 and estimated TAC of 74,239 residents illustrates the
city’s well above average capture of retail sales from nonresidents. The large concentration of
national retailers and distance to alternative shopping destinations in Lincoln, Omaha, and Kearney
accounts for the high trade area capture.
Grand Island’s pull factor of 1.42 indicates a retail sales capture at a rate 42 percent greater than
the statewide average. The pull factor suggests that nonresidents have a significant impact on
Grand Island’s taxable retail sales.
Conestoga Mall’s location within a regional shopping destination in the heart of the Highway 281
retail corridor offers the site characteristics that are favorable for supporting redevelopment with
a mix of big-box retailers, small shops, entertainment, and restaurant uses.
The Conestoga Marketplace Redevelopment is forecast to generate stabilized annual sales of
$146.2 million to $160.1 million (excludes hotel sales), with net new sales to the City of Grand
Island estimated to account for 42 percent to 51 percent of total annual sales, amounting to $61.4
million to $81.7 million. These additional net new sales captured by the City of Grand Island
would prove to increase the City’s pull factor from a current rate of 1.42 to a range of 1.48 to 1.50.
The direct net new sales generated by the proposed Conestoga Mall redevelopment and captured
by the City of Grand Island would also produce a spinoff effect on Grand Island’s retail market in
the form of indirect sales, estimated at $24.6 million to $32.7 million annually.

RANGE OF EXPERIENCE
In 1987, Mr. Lander, in cooperation with the Drachman Institute of Regional Land Planning, published a
working paper titled "Land Development as Value Added in the Development Process and Appropriate
Criteria to Rank Sites for Selection of Master Planned Satellite Communities." Since the publication of
this working paper, Mr. Lander has conducted numerous market feasibility studies on existing and
proposed, large-scale, master planned communities in the Southwestern United States, totaling over 80,000
acres. The working paper was evaluated and utilized by such prestigious universities as Harvard, M.I.T.
and the University of North Carolina as part of their master’s program in Real Estate, City and Regional
Planning, and Business.
Mr. Lander is an instructor with the Commercial Real Estate Institute, teaching classes in Market Analysis, Commercial Property Valuation and Land Valuation.
Developed a model designed to evaluate and rank the development potential of freeway interchanges.
The methodology for ranking freeway properties is based on a list of 25 criteria which provide a
framework to efficiently compare the strengths and weaknesses of various freeway sites. Seven (7)
criteria have been established which apply to metropolitan area economic base and real estate market,
five (5) criteria evaluate the region influenced by the presence of the freeway in question, and thirteen
(13) interchange and site-specific criteria are aimed at determining future real estate development
opportunities. This model has been utilized in evaluating freeway-oriented, mixed-use projects
anchored by regional malls, business parks, office complexes, and hotels.
Mr. Lander has provided consulting services on downtown redevelopment and historic preservation
efforts. Recent examples include a heritage tourism study for the Erie Canal terminus in Buffalo, New York; evaluation of potential office, retail, hotel and arena development in the downtown areas
of Glendale and Mesa, Arizona; retail market evaluation and redevelopment plan for downtown Warsaw, Missouri; a downtown master plan for downtown Lee’s Summit, Missouri; and a
redevelopment plan for the 24 Highway Corridor in Independence, Missouri.
Mr. Lander has conducted TIF and TDD Revenue Projections for a variety of large-scale retail
projects in Missouri and Kansas. Tax Increment Financing and Transportation Development Districts
are government-backed funding mechanisms designed to finance project-specific public
infrastructure improvement. Funded is provided via the issue and sale of bonds. In the case of Tax
Increment Financing the bonds are repaid with incremental increases in property tax and sales tax
revenue generated by the designated redevelopment area. Transportation Development Districts
involve the levy of an additional sales tax on businesses operating within the redevelopment area.
Mr. Lander has conducted STAR Bond Feasibility and Market Studies on several proposed
developments in Kansas, including the Kansas City Tourism District, Legends at Village West, Kansas City Research & Medical Campus, and Rosedale Station Shopping Center. The Market
Study evaluates the market positioning, market demand, short-term development potential, and
economic impact for the proposed Redevelopment District. Meanwhile, the Feasibility Study
provides a STAR Bond revenue vs. costs comparison to determine the ability of the
Redevelopment District to cover debt service for the projected STAR Bond obligations throughout
the bond maturity period.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall Page 1
PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within a specific part of Grand Island. Woodsonia Acquistitions, LLC commissioned the study to
analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and substandard.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, look at those
issues and definitions provided for in the Nebraska Community Redevelopment Law as found in
Chapter 18, Section 2104 of the Revised Nebraska State Statutes, as follows:
“The governing body of a city, to the greatest extent it deems to be feasible in
carrying out the provisions of the Community Development Law, shall afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, to the
rehabilitation or redevelopment of the community redevelopment area by private
enterprises. The governing body of a city shall give consideration to this objective in
exercising its powers under the Community Development Law, including the
formulation of a workable program, the approval of community redevelopment
plans consistent with the general plan for the development of the city, the exercise of
its zoning powers, the enforcement of other laws, codes, and regulations, relating to
the use of land and the use and occupancy of buildings and improvements, the
disposition of any property acquired, and the providing of necessary public
improvements.”
The Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2105 continues by granting authority to the governing body
for the formulation of a workable program; disaster assistance; effect. The statute reads,
“The governing body of a city or an authority at its direction for the purposes of the
Community Development Law may formulate for the entire municipality a workable
program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent
the development or spread of urban blight, to encourage needed urban
rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas,
or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities
as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program.
Such workable program may include, without limitation, provision for the prevention
of the spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are free from blight
through diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and
standards; the rehabilitation or conservation of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof by replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds,
and other public improvements by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by
compelling the repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures;
and the clearance and redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof.”
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Community Development Law, where
the local governing body certifies that an area is in need of redevelopment or
rehabilitation as a result of flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, or other
catastrophe respecting which the Governor of the state has certified the need for
disaster assistance under federal law, the local governing body may approve a
redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project with respect to such area without
regard to the provisions of the Community Development Law requiring a general
plan for the municipality and notice and public hearing or findings other than herein
set forth.”
Based on the Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2103 the following definitions shall apply:
“Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or
inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility,
or usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other
improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency
exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, improper
subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or

property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing
accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in
which there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the
designated area is at least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national
average; (ii) the average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at
least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area
is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years and has remained
unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the
average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is designated; or
(v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second
class shall not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and
a village shall not designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village
as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a formerly used defense site as
authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count towards the percentage
limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for
ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and
overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire
and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which
cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two
hundred thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c),
housing unit costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic
Development based upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price

This Blight and Substandard Study is Blighted and Substandard Area 28. The Study is intended to
give the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority, Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and declaring Blighted and
Substandard conditions are existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed under Chapter
18. Through this process, the City and property owners will attempt to address economic and/or
social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of the entire community.

The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific
parcel of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and
produce some impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Existing patterns of
land use are often fixed in older communities and neighborhoods, while development in newer
areas is often reflective of current development practices.
The study area is within a highly commercial part of Grand Island. There are commercial uses to
all sides of the study, including the redeveloping area of Blight and Substandard Area 9 from
2012.
Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey conducted through both in-field observations, as well
as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use of
each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are found in the following
paragraphs.

This section of the study examines the conditions found within the study area. The Findings
Section reviews the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART A OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
are reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Structural Conditions
Existing structural conditions of buildings in the study area were determined using the Hall County
Assessor’s database. Structures rated out as either Very Good, Good, Fair, Average, or badly
worn. Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 2 (5.7%) structures rated as very good
• 5 (14.3%) structures rated as good
• 0 (0.0%) structure rated as fair
• 28 (80.0%) structures rated as average
• 0 (0.0%) structures rated as badly worn
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 216 / 314
Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 8 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
The exterior portion of the mall is showing considerable wear, likely due to deferred
maintenance. In the photos on the previous page, there are examples of where masonry and
wood construction has been compromised and is in danger of falling from the building onto the
ground. Based upon a visual ground inspection, it appears like there is considerable water
penetration in the brick-and-mortar system. Said photos also show water penetration inside one
of the structures. An assumption was made, based upon the data, that an average condition or
less would constitute less than desirable conditions due to age and condition of the
structure/building. It is common for older structures to get more maintenance and upkeep to
maintain a good or higher condition. Even an average structure shows some signs of
deteriorating which in turn can become a dilapidated structure in the future if not maintained.
Overall, 80.0% of the structures in this study area are an average condition or worse.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structures is a contributing factor.

Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Site Improvements Conditions
The site improvements include the areas determined to be common areas for public ingress and
egress to the study area as well as the area designed to move vehicular traffic through the site.
Also, this includes the actual surface parking areas. The condition of the site improvements varies
greatly. The Study Area contains a major deteriorated condition; the parking areas throughout
the area, as well as the demarcated driving areas. The parking areas throughout the entire
Study Area are in a serious state of deterioration. They are not yet in a dilapidated condition. The
parking surface and driving areas contain major surface cracking, small break-ups and
spawling. These conditions have been likely caused by several circumstances over the years,
including:
· Lack of maintenance
· Sub-soil conditions
· Heavier than expected traffic
· Freeze/thaw cycles
Preventing a number of these items are possible through proper design, enforcement, and
maintenance, with maintenance being a key. Photos below indicate examples of different
deteriorated conditions within the parking and driving areas across the entire site. Due to a large
amount of broken pavement in the Study Area, the parking areas are considered to be
deteriorated or in a state of deteriorating; therefore, they are a direct contributing factor to the
conditions of blight.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 10 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Diversity of Ownership
Throughout the study area, there are 13 different property owners. However, in most cases, the
difference is that one company owns the structure on the site; while, another entity, usually,
Conestoga North or Conestoga Realty owns the ground underneath the structure. This creates
potential issues with future redevelopment of structures and property if the different ownership
groups disagree. Also, the fact structures sit on land owned by another party will create a
potential detriment to future redevelopment. Due to this factor, it may be necessary for a public
intervention to guide future redevelopment activities in this specific study area. Based upon the
analysis, sufficient ownership issues present to make Diversity of Ownership a contributing factor
for Blighting.
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting is present in several ways. These factors are bulleted
below:
• First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area, Conestoga
Drive and Overland Road.
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 5 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting a
contributing factor for Blighting.
Faulty Lot Layout
Similar to Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting, Faulty Lot Layout is present in similar ways.
These factors are bulleted below:
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 6 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Faulty Lot Layout a contributing factor for Blighting.
Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
There are several factors present within the study area meeting this criterion are discussed in the
following paragraphs.
Functional Obsolescence
The primary structure within the study area is the Conestoga Mall. The mall was constructed in
the mid-1970’s and was designed using common mall layouts and concepts. However, as the
retail markets have been changing, these types of facilities have been losing popularity. It is a
similar issue seen by the Grand Island Mall which was declared Blighted and Substandard in 2012
and has been the focus of several redevelopment projects since the declaration.
Malls and retail use constructed in today’s economy are more open air, even in colder climate
regions. The newer mall models are doing more to make the shopping experience more than
“just shopping.” These older regional malls have lost favor with consumers across the United
States. Some examples within the region include the Imperial Mall in Hastings, the mall in North
Platte, the mall in Hutchinson, KS. The phenomena have also affected larger cities such as
Omaha; Kansas City, MO; Overland Park, KS; and more.
The survival of this mall into the future will be dependent on ownership willingness to re-focus the
mall itself.

Retail Markets of the 21st Century
Retail in the 21st Century has been evolving rapidly. The evolution led by consumers wanting
more than the 1960 to 1970 malls with their shopping experience has been a big factor;
however, the rise of e-commerce and Amazon has also been a major contributing factor to the
retail revolution.
With the retail revolution of the 21st Century, several mainstream retailers have had trouble
competing. The major tenants of Sears, Yonkers, and JC Penneys have all vacated their spaces
at the Conestoga Mall. Yonkers left in 2015, while the other two left shortly after. Sears filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and closed February 2019. All three tenants left behind
empty boxes, merchandise, and storage equipment in the spaces. A lack of major retailers
located at Conestoga Mall impairs and arrests sound growth of this facility in the future.
The buildup of the mall area
Looking at the Conestoga Mall on aerials, the mall is located on the southernmost location of
the land. North of the primary mall was eventual built-out with smaller strip centers. These strip
centers to the north impair the future expansion of the primary mall. Also, the location of the
primary mall and strip centers creates an issue with expanding parking on the mall property.
These factors do impair and arrest sound growth of the study area.
Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts
Under normal blight evaluation, this criteria would apply to public streets. However, in the case
of this study area, it applies to the internal traffic circulation of the mall property and the
adjoining strip centers to the north. Figure 8 indicates the primary and secondary circulation
loops. The Figure also indicates potential concerns with the layouts on the site. There are enough
circulation concerns on-site to make Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts a contributing factor
to declaring the area as Blighted.

INSANITARY AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS
Woodsonia commissioned an asbestos analysis of the Conestoga Mall portion of the study area.
The study was completed by Heartland Testing and Consulting LLC in August 2022. The following
areas for the mall were reviewed and/or sampled. Inspection of the following occupied spaces
were not completed due to no access: Units 3A, 4, 7A, 9, 23B, 33, 34, 38 & 40. Inspection of sub-
flooring in the occupied tenant spaces of the facility were limited due to current sales area floor
coverings. Additional review of the occupied spaces sales are sub-floors should be completed
when the spaces are available for destructive review. Below is a summary of the spaces with
limited review: 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23A, 24, 30, 31, 36, 37, 39A, 40A, 41, 42, 44, 49, 50, 52, 54,

require mitigation of the materials by a State of Nebraska certified asbestos contract prior to
renovation or demolition activities. Additional information regarding the study findings can be
seen in the complete study attached to this report.
Therefore, based upon the findings of this asbestos study, the asbestos is a contributing factor to
insanitary and unsafe conditions of the study area.
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO LIFE OR PROPERTY DUE TO FIRE OR OTHER CAUSES
Woodsonia commissioned an asbestos analysis of the Conestoga Mall portion of the study area.
The study was completed by Heartland Testing and Consulting LLC in August 2022. The following
areas for the mall were reviewed and/or sampled. Inspection of the following occupied spaces

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART B OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
will be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the
structural age of the structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined
from the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Another method to analyze this area is using square footage. State statute discusses commercial
units; in the commercial world, it is not about the building as much as it is about square footage.
Therefore, this analysis is also examining the age of the built square footage. Based upon data
from the Hall County Assessor’s office, there is a total of 647,019 built square footage in the area.
Of the 647,019 total square footage, 610,089 built square feet are 40 years or older, which is
94.3% of the total build out. Therefore, more than 50% of the square footage is 40 years of age or
older.

The final means to examine the age of structures is the actual number of structures within the 40
years or more or less than 40 years categories. Overall, there are 35 structures within the study
area, based upon the Hall County Assessor’s data (Hall County Assessor divides the primary mall
structure into 11 separate units, thus 35 total). After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s and Treasurer’s websites, the following breakdown was determined:
• 28 (80.0%) unit were determined to be 40 years of age or older
• 7 (20.0%) unit were determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 2, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.
Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
The population of the study area has seen a stable population based upon the last two
decennial census’. Over the course of the past 40 years there have not been any residential
units within this study area.
Therefore, stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial censuses is a
contributing factor to the blighted conditions of the area.
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
• Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 80.0% of the structures were deemed to be in either average or
badly worn condition.
o Several locations around the primary mall are indicating moisture damage to the
brick façade. There is clear moisture damage inside of the mall as well.
• Deterioration of site or other improvements
o The majority of the asphalt parking areas around the primary mall is in a deteriorating
state and appears to have forgone updating for a considerable time.
o There are several places where the parking surfaces are in a worse than deteriorated
state based upon the photographs in the report.
• Diversity of Ownership
o There are 13 different property owners within the study area.
o The majority of the buildings owned by corporations, sit on top of ground owned by
another party, typically, Conestoga Realty or Conestoga North.
• Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
o First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area,
Conestoga Drive and Overland Road.
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
• Faulty Lot Layout
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 22 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
• Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
o Functional Obsolescence is a contributing factor to sound growth
o Retail markets of the 21st Century are impairing growth of the area
o The buildup of the outlots of the mall area
• Defective/Inadequate street layouts
o The layout of the primary and secondary thoroughfares on site are in conflict with key
functional areas such as deliveries and loading docks
o The two primary streets entering the mall property from the north are private streets
o There are several points along the outer travel route that comes into conflict with
secondary travel paths.
• Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
• Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
• The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
o 28 (80.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older

The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
• Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
• Defective or unusual condition of title,
• Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
• The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the
city or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the
overall condition of the study area.

Substandard Conditions
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the
structural age of the structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined
from the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Another method to analyze this area is using square footage. State statute discusses commercial
units; in the commercial world, it is not about the building as much as it is about square footage.
Therefore, this analysis is also examining the age of the built square footage. Based upon data
from the Hall County Assessor’s office, there is a total of 647,019 built square footage in the area.
Of the 647,019 total square footage, 610,089 built square feet are 40 years or older, which is
94.3% of the total build out. Therefore, more than 50% of the square footage is 40 years of age or
older.
The final means to examine the age of structures is the actual number of structures within the 40
years or more or less than 40 years categories. Overall, there are 35 structures within the study
area, based upon the Hall County Assessor’s data (Hall County Assessor divides the primary mall
structure into 11 separate units, thus 35 total). After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s and Treasurer’s websites, the following breakdown was determined:
• 28 (80.0%) unit were determined to be 40 years of age or older
• 7 (20.0%) unit were determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 2, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.

Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”
This Study Area in Grand Island meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised
Nebraska State Statutes.
FINDINGS FOR GRAND ISLAND BLIGHT STUDY AREA #28
Blight Study Area #28 has several items contributing to the Blight and Substandard Conditions.
These conditions include:
Blighted Conditions under Part A
• Substantial number of deteriorating structures
• Deterioration of site or other improvements
• Diversity of Ownership
• Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
• Faulty Lot Layout
• Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
• Defective/Inadequate street layouts
• Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
• Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
• The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
• Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
Substandard Conditions
• Average age of the structures in the area is at least forty years

Any building material that contains greater than 1% asbestos is considered regulated and should be removed by a State of Nebraska certified asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation or demolition activities.
Any presumed or building material known to contain <1% asbestos must be removed prior to renovation work to meet OSHA occupational exposure requirements. Sample C-2: Wall Board System Joint Compound
The definition of asbestos-containing material (ACM) presented at 29 CFR 1910.1001(b), 29 CFR 1915(b), and 29 CFR 1926.1101(b); OSHA regards each of the items used to construct wall shells from wallboard panels as separate materials. Each of these materials that may contain asbestos must be analyzed separately for their asbestos content. OSHA does not regard wallboard/gypsum wallboard and joint compound as a surfacing material. If a wall shell is constructed of ACM joint compound and wallboard panels that are not ACM, then removal of the wall shell is considered OSHA Class II asbestos work. For a full listing of materials tested please see table 1. Laboratory analytical results are presented in Appendix D. Asbestos sample photographs are presented in Appendix E. Facility diagram is presented in
Appendix F.

Scope of Services
A visual inspection and sampling survey was conducted in general accordance with EPA/NESHAP
guidelines to determine the presence of suspect asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) in demolition and renovation projects. Survey Methodology
This asbestos survey was performed by a State of Nebraska licensed asbestos inspector. An initial building walk through was conducted to determine the presence of suspect materials, homogeneous materials, and functional spaces throughout the facility. Following the walk through, the inspector collects samples of selected materials identified as suspect ACBM. Sampling is limited to those materials which do not involve destruction of building elements, physical barriers, or the structural integrity of the item being tested. Confined spaces and areas with structural deficiencies are also not inspected unless noted. EPA guidelines were used to determine the sampling protocol. Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the
homogeneous sampling area. While an effort was made to collect samples randomly, samples were taken preferentially from areas which were the least visible to minimize disturbance of the material.
Laboratory Methodology
Bulk samples obtained from the facility were analyzed at an accredited laboratory listed on the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) or point
count methodology (PC) as needed. Laboratory certifications and statements of qualifications can be provided as needed. Warranty
HTC and its inspectors are trained and licensed to perform the services provided. All care is taken to provide a product of the highest quality in line with professional standards. All care is taken to examine the entirety of the facility or area requested in so far as it is safe to do so. The value of the warranty or any claims cannot exceed the value paid for this report or survey. Survey and Analysis Results
For a detailed report on laboratory findings please refer to Appendix D. Quantities of materials sampled
are estimated from field measurements. Owner, contractor, or other operators should field verify all quantities to ensure accuracy.

There are several government agencies with regulations pertaining to asbestos, renovation, and demolition projects in Nebraska. The following items are summaries of their involvement. Environmental Protection Agency
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) – This act contains many regulations pertaining
exclusively to schools and can be found in 40 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Part 763.
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) – NESHAP regulations govern
most of the asbestos related renovation and demolition projects. The full text can be found in 40 CFR. Part
61.
- Requires an asbestos inspection prior to renovation and demolition projects.
- Requires removal of materials prior to being disturbed by renovation or demolition activities.
- Requires ten government working day notification prior to any renovation, demolition, or asbestos removal activities on projects greater than 160 square feet or 260 lineal feet. All demolition projects must be notified regardless of if asbestos is present.
- Regulates the training requirements for asbestos professionals.
- Regulates the identification, removal, transportation, and disposal of asbestos containing materials. Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services Asbestos Control Program
This state agency is delegated certain responsibilities created by the EPA regulations. For more information
visit the programs website located at https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Asbestos.aspx.
- Requires an asbestos inspection be performed by a licensed inspector prior to any renovation or demolition project. From the Program website:
“Before you begin demolition or renovation of a project by anyone other than a homeowner (in that person’s residential property of 4 units or less), each residential or commercial property owner must have a thorough
inspection for asbestos-containing materials. This inspection must be performed by a Nebraska-certified asbestos inspector.”
- Requires a ten-day (14 calendar day) notification on projects greater than 160 square feet or 260 lineal feet.
- Requires state licensed personnel do all asbestos work except that exempted by the residential exemption found in glossary.
- Regulates work practices for all asbestos work.
- Enforces State regulations and some EPA regulations.
Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE)
NDEQ regulations require removal of asbestos prior to demolition or renovation. NDEE also regulates the disposal of asbestos wastes and construction and demolition (C & D) materials.
- Requires use of personnel licensed in accordance with NDOH.
- Requires inspection and removal of ACM in demolition and renovations projects.
- Requires the same ten-day notification as above.
- Requires all asbestos waste be disposed of in a licensed landfill permitted to accept asbestos.

- Requires all C&D material be disposed of or recycled in a permitted facility.
- Requires an inspection and removal of any ACM prior to a fire training exercise. Also requires
disposal of ashes from said burn in a licensed landfill. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
OSHA regulates asbestos as it pertains to the safety and health of all workers on site. Further information can be found in 29 cfr. 1926.1101.
- Requires owners of facilities to perform a survey of asbestos containing materials and institute
an operations and maintenance plan to keep materials in good condition.
- Regulates work practices for removal and repair of ACM as it pertains to employee safety.
- Requires air monitoring be performed in certain situations to protect safety of asbestos workers
as well as any other workers that may be in the area or structure.
- Requires medical monitoring, respiratory protection, and education of employees working with asbestos.
- OSHA may regulate materials whose asbestos content does not meet the EPA definition of an asbestos containing material.

Approved Asbestos Waste Disposal Site - means a solid waste disposal area that is operated under a permit issued by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and is authorized to receive asbestos
containing solid wastes. See Appendix E. Asbestos – means asbestiform varieties of chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite. Asbestos Containing Materials or ACM – means any material or product, which contains more than 1% asbestos. Asbestos Project – means an asbestos encapsulation project, an asbestos removal project, an asbestos enclosure project, an asbestos related demolition project or an asbestos related dismantling project, but shall not include any activities which affect three (3) square feet or less or three (3) linear feet or less of ACM
on or in a structure or equipment or any appurtenances thereto, or (b) any activities physically performed by a homeowner, a member of the home owner's family or an unpaid volunteer on or in the home owner's residential property of four units or less.
Bulk Sample – a solid quantity of a building material suspected of containing asbestos and that will be analyzed for the presence of asbestos.
Demolition – means the wrecking, razing, or removal of any structure or load-supporting structural item of any structure, including any related material handling operations, and includes the intentional burning of any structure. Friable Asbestos – means asbestos in a form which can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Caution: Non-friable asbestos which becomes friable is classified as friable asbestos. Inspector – means an individual who is certified by the Department to identify and assess the condition of ACM. Inspectors shall perform their duties in accordance with the techniques, knowledge, training and
responsibilities outlined in 008.04A8. Management Planner – means an individual who is certified by the Department to assess the hazard of materials containing asbestos, to determine the appropriate response actions and to write management plans. Non-friable ACM – any material containing more than one percent asbestos (as determined by Polarized
Light Microscopy), that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, Nonfriable asbestos is further divided into categories I and II. Category I includes packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing. Category II includes any material not in Category I. Project Designer – means an individual who is certified by the Department to formulate plans and write
specifications for conducting asbestos projects.

RACM – Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) is:
- Friable asbestos;
- Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable due to destructive handling;
- Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading; or
- Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material during demolition or renovation operations regulated by the Asbestos National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Renovation – means the altering of a structure, one or more structural items, or one or more equipment items in any way, including any asbestos project performed on a structure, structural item, or equipment item.
Structure or Structural Item – means roofs, walls, ceilings, floors, structural supports, pipes, ducts, fittings and fixtures that have been installed as an integral part of any structure.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-

The test report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval of the laboratory. The report must not be used by the client to
claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by any agency of the federal government. Eurofins EMLab P&K reserves the right to
dispose of all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.
Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.
‡ A "Version" indicated by -"x" after the Lab ID# with a value greater than 1 indicates a sample with amended data. The revision number is

Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

EXTREMELY BLIGHTED DETERMINATION STUDY CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
AUGUST 2022
A study to determine if areas already declared Blighted and
Substandard meet the Legislative requirements to be declared
extremely blighted for purposes of receiving potential funding,
extended TIF periods and tax credits.
Prepared by Marvin Planning Consultants, Inc and Kurt Elder
AUGUST 2022
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 11/9/2022 Page 286 / 314
BLIGHT and EXTREMELY BLIGHTED AREA STUDY
REF: Statute 18-2101 to 18-2154 and section of the act, aka Community Development Law REASONS FOR COMPLETING AN EXTREMELY BLIGHTED STUDY
Section 2: (1) For any city that (a) intends to carry out a redevelopment project which will
involve the construction of workforce housing in an extremely blighted area as authorized under subdivision (28)(g) of section 18-2103, (b) intends to declare an area as an extremely blighted
area for purposes of funding decisions under subdivision (1)(b) of section 58-708, or (c) intends to
declare an area as an extremely blighted area in order for individuals purchasing residences in
such area to qualify for the income tax credit authorized in subsection (7) of section 77-2715.07, the governing body of such city shall first declare, by resolution adopted after the public hearings required under this section, such area to be an extremely blighted area.
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTION Section 2: (2) Prior to making such declaration, the governing body of the city shall conduct or cause to be conducted a study or an analysis on whether the area is extremely blighted and
shall submit the question of whether such area is extremely blighted to the planning commission
or board of the city for its review and recommendation. (…) The planning commission or board shall submit its written recommendations to the governing body of the city within thirty days after
the public hearing.
PROCESS Brief: For an area to be designated as extremely blighted and substandard two finding, through
three facets, need to be meet. These facets are defined in Nebraska statute. (i.e. 18-2103 –
Terms, …) However, for brevity they are simplified into two broad components (a) areas that have been found blighted and substandard through city council action, and (b) have been found to be contain extremely blighted components.
This study primarily determines which areas meet the statutory definition of extremely blighted
An approved blighted and substandard area is also extremely blighted if (i) the average rate of
unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most recent federal decennial
census or American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate is at least two hundred percent of the average rate of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (ii) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or federal census block group or block groups in the area
Because Grand Island’s approved blight areas do not conform to defined census geographies.
This study honors the intention of the statute and completes an independent analysis of poverty
and unemployment components. Census areas that are qualified in each study form the basis
for determining extreme blight. To be clear if ‘Geography A’ was qualified in both studies then any declared blight in ‘Geography A’ could be nominated as extremely blighted.
Lastly, if a census geography or portion of is in the City of Grand Island corporate limits it was
considered in the development of the separate components.
DATA TABLES Council Approved Blight - The Community development law requires that an Extremely Blighted and Substandard
area be an approved blighted area. The City of Grand Island keeps a list of approved
blight areas in their offices and online at https://www.grand-
island.com/departments/regional-planning/community-redevelopment-authority-cra/blight-

study-areas. Also, attached is ‘Proposed Blight Area’ and ‘Proposed Extreme Blight Area’ which details a blighted area. Both blight and extreme blight can share common public hearings.
Extremely Blighted Components -
Part (i) is a state comparison. The 2020 Nebraska Unemployment rate according to the US Census American Community Survey (five-year average) was 3.37%. Therefore, the average rate
of our selected area would require an unemployment rate of at least 6.74%
Marvin Planning Consultants, Inc. and Kurt Elder (The Team) developed an area with an average unemployment greater than of 7.52%. An area average is determined by using the sum of
estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ’Unemployment Area’,
which details our proposed unemployment area.
Part (ii) is a local area finding. Grand Island’s 2020 poverty rate was 11.83% but in line with state
statute, we developed an area with greater than 20% poverty. An area average is determined
by using the sum of estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ‘Poverty Review’, which details our proposed poverty area.
All data was 2020 US Census American Community 5-year Survey data. We choose to utilize only
block-group level information from the census to minimize independent margins of error. Furthermore, our data methodology and averaging process/interpetation received support from
UNO’s David Drozd Research Coordinator at the UNO Center for Public Affairs and notified Sen.
Justin Wayne (i.e., Nebraska Legislature, Chair of the Urban Affairs Committee) office to confirm
his support. His legislative assistant relayed support. ANALYSIS The Team overlaid these three facets/area reviews (i.e., approved blight, 20%+ poverty,
200%+ of the Nebraska’s unemployment rate, and delineated areas where the three
intersected. This proposed extremely blighted area is attached as ‘Proposed Extreme Blight
Area’.

Across the five project areas, Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") is being requested in
the amount of $26,257,000. The present value of the project generated TIF
represents approximately 11.85% of the total project capital structure and will be
used towards the more than $68,000,000 in TIF eligible expenses for the project
including, but not limited to the near $40,000,000 mall redevelopment expenses.
As provided in the attached Exhibit D, the project maintains a significant funding
shortfall. Without the use of TIF and the accompanying requested incentives, the
proposed project generates an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of -4.61%. With the
proposed use of TIF, as well as other funding / incentives mechanisms, the project is
anticipated to generate a 5.58% IRR.
