Exhibit "A"
Special Circumstances
Requested by GRW Investments, LLC
GRW Investments, Inc. (`'Applicant") plans to purchase the property located at 2206 Lively
Boulevard in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and plans to rehabilitate and lease the same to Trust Air Cargo
Corporation ("Trust Air'). Trust Air will be using the site for its operations consisting of the
warehousing and .distribution of international freight, cargo consolidation for both air and sea, and
moving operation services.
The subject property consists of an approximately 10,070 square foot building on a roughly
25,175 square foot site that has been vacant since approximately September, 2008. The Applicant
plans to purchase the site for $710,000 and plans to invest approximately $75,000 to $100,000 to
refurbish the existing facility. The improvements will be made to, but not limited to, the roof,
carpeting, walls, and offices as well as general maintenance. Specifically, the Applicant plans to
replace the existing roof, replace all interior carpeting, and demolish interior walls in order to
reconfigure the office space to provide a more open layout.
Trust Air is currently located in Wood Dale, Illinois, however, it plans to relocate its entire
operation to the above -referenced location because the overall layout and Elk Grove is more suitable
for Trust Air's day-to-day operations. Trust. Air will bring all 14 of its current employees to this
location with the likelihood of hiring an additional 2-3 employees over the life of the Incentive. Trust
Air will look to hire all qualified Village of Elk Grove residents for future hires.
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, GRW Investments, Inc. must possess a Class 6b in order
to purchase the property and lease the same to Trust Air. Trust Air believes that this new facility fits
its needs moving forward, however, without the Class 6b, it will not be able to successfully operate at
this site nor will GRW Investments be able to complete the substantial rehabilitation.
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 continuous months of vacancy and a
purchase for value with special circumstances as well as substantial rehabilitation for the above -
referenced property.
