(the "Applicant") This property consists of an apptoxirfately> 1,0;000 squafffoot building that has been vacant for nearly one year. Currently, the property is vaeantand in'need of substantial rehabilitation. The Applicant intends to purchase the site for $745,000 and plans to invest roughly $20,000 to $30,000 to refurbish the existing facility. The improvements will be made to, but not limited to, the office, bathrooms, walls and floors as well as for general maintenance and repair: The Applicant is currently located in Elk Grove Village at 1400 Louis Ave. and plans to-reloeate its operations within Elk Grove Village at 2206 Lively Blvd. and begin its operations at this site with 4 employees ;with the likelihood of expanding to 2 to 3 employees within the next year and 5 more employees.over the life of the Incentive. However, this is all contingent on the Applicant receiving a Class 6b Tax Iriceritive. 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 in order to successfully operate the facility. The Applicant needs to expand and believes that this new facility will fit its needs moving forward, however, without a Class 6b it will not be able to successfully operate at this site nor complete the substantial rehabilitation needed. It is for these reasons that it is necessary to grant the Applicant a Class" 6b Incentive based on occupation of abandoned' property for less than twenty-four months continuous vacancy, with a purchase for valiid and: special circuinstances as well as substantial rehabilitation for the above -referenced property.
