FROM: COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES -- 2.2 MAY 22, 2001
Your committee has considered communication 4-24-7 from the
Saginaw County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority asking for
approval of the Redevelopment Plan for Gratiot Plaza Inc. A public
hearing is being held at this day's session regarding the project.
Gratiot Plaza, Inc. is located on the 7100 block of Gratiot Avenue
in Thomas Township. When complete, Gratiot Plaza, Inc. will have
an estimated SEV of $8,500,000. The current SEV of the property is
$310,000. The property will be owned and managed by Gratiot Road
Development Partners, Inc. The facility is expected to generate
approximately 50 new jobs.
The plan requests the granting of Single Business Tax Credits (for
less than $10 Million in new investment) in addition to local tax
capture which will be used to fund approximately $18,500 of
Baseline Environmental Assessment Activities and $15,000 of
estimated Due Care and Response Activities to clean up the site.
In addition the Authority voted to capture $3,015 for interest and
a 5% administrative cost on the annual tax capture to defray
Brownfield administrative costs incurred by the County of Saginaw.
The Authority also recommends an additional five years of tax
capture occur to be placed into the Local Remediation Revolving
Loan Fund. Thomas Township supports the project.
We agree with the request. Under the proper order of business, the
appropriate resolution will be submitted to accomplish same.
