Exhibit "A"
Special Circumstances
Requested by EMCO Gears, Inc.
EMCO Gears, Inc. ("Applicant") plans on purchasing the property located at 160-200 King St. in
Elk Grove Village, Illinois (PIN: 08-22-102-242-0000) and using the same for its own operations which
consist of the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of transmission parts for the autornotive and
aerospace industries.
The subject property consists of an approximately 40,150 square foot building that by the time it is
oc,cupied in roughly February, 2011, will have been vacant for over one year. Currently, the property is
vacant and in need of substantial rehabilitation. The Applicant will be purchasing the site and plans to
invest approximately $500,000 over the life of the Incentive to refurbish the existing facility. The
improvements will be made with regard to, but not limited to, the office, lighting and to the remainder of
the facility for general maintenance. The Applicant will also be re-leveling the floors with epoxy and
quartz as.well as replacing the FIVAC.
The Applicant is currently located in Indiana, North Carolina and in the City of Chicago at 4329
N. Kedzie Ave. The Applicant intends to move its current City of Chicago location to the subject
property and plans to bring all 22 of its current employees to the site. The Applicant will be adding
approximately 8 to 10 employees within the first five years of its operations and will look to hire all
qualified Village of Elk Grove Village residents for future hires. However, the above is all contingent on
the Applicant receiving a Class 6b Tax Incentive.
Based on our research and the additional costs that must be Incurred to rehabilitate the building in
order for this to be a successful endeavor, the Applicant must possess a Class 6b Incentive to successfully
operate the facility and complete the substantial rehabilitation. The Applicant wishes to move its City of
Chicago location to the subject property where it hopes to stay for a long time moving forward; however,
without a Class 6b Incentive it will not move to the site.
It is for these reasons that it is necessary to grant the Applicant a Resolution supporting and
consenting to a Class 6b Incentive based on Occupation of abandoned property for less than twenty-four
(24) months continuous vacancy with a purchase for value, special circumstances and substantial
rehabilitation for the above-ret-erenced property.
