A. HRA Resolution 21-05; a Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt a 36
modification to the Development Program for Redevelopment Project Area No. 3 and 37
establish Lowry Grove TIF District therein and adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan. 38
39
Executive Director Charlie Yunker reviewed the City is considering establishing the Lowry 40
Grove Tax Increment Financing District to facilitate the redevelopment of the former Lowry 41
Grove Mobile Home Park and Bremer Bank site. The District consists of 2 parcels of land 42
approximately 17 acres in size. 43
44
The City has had several projects come forward over the past several years to redevelop the area 45
with varying forms of rental housing. All projects have requested tax increment financing in 46
order to undertake the projects. Over the last year, the City has given preliminary approval for 47
assistance to two projects in the proposed District, of which only one is moving forward at this 48
time. Based upon the historical interest in redeveloping this area, it was determined to place both 49

parcels into one larger district in order to be flexible to accommodate any future TIF requests the 1
City and HRA may deem to be warranted. 2
3
The duration of this redevelopment TIF district will be 25 years from the date of receipt of the 4
first increment, which is anticipated in 2023. Thus, it is estimated that the District, would 5
terminate at the earlier of satisfaction of payment on any pay-as-you-go TIF Notes within the 6
District or on December 31, in 2048. We anticipate that the District will be decertified earlier 7
than 2048 since currently the only obligation proposed for the District should be repaid in 9 8
years. 9
