vacant property generally located south of Bluff City Road and bounded in the east by railroad

conservation and blighted area conditions in the Redevelopment Project Area and to enhance the

establishing a public/private partnership, establishing economic growth, development and
training in the City by working within the guidelines of the business attraction and retention
strategies developed by the City, encouraging private investment while conforming with the
City's comprehensive plan, restoring and enhancing the City's tax base, enhancing the value of
the proposed Redevelopment Project Area, improving the environmental quality of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area and retaining and attracting employment opportunities within the
C-1
proposed Redevelopment Project Area. To achieve these objectives, the Redevelopment Plan
proposes to provide assistance by paying or reimbursing costs related to the acquisition,
construction and installation of public facilities, property assembly, site preparation and
improvement, environmental remediation, job training and other eligible redevelopment project
costs, the execution of one or more redevelopment agreements, and the payment of financing,
administrative and other professional costs.
Prior to the date of the hearing, each taxing district having property in the Redevelopment
Project Area and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity may submit
written comments to the City, to the attention of the City Clerk, 150 Dexter Court, Elgin, Illinois
