MEDC Grant
Bob Trezise introduced Mindy Biladeau, Executive Director of the Principal Shopping
District, Rusty Owens and Kevin Fueka, C2AE engineers. As point person, Mindy hired
C2AE to establish costs associated with building an ice skating rink next to the City
Market and has completed the MEDC grant application which is due by 5:00 p.m.
today. Bob recommended the Board approve $400,000 from TIFA fund balance as a
community match. The $1.1 million fund balance is healthy due to our proactive bond
refinancing efforts. Our five-year TIFA revenue projections are positive despite very
conservative estimates. It will enhance economic development. C2AE provided project
details and expressed this project is very unique as there is only one other ice rink in
the State like it. The rink will be synthetic so that it can be utilized year round. It will
have a fountain feature, raised fire pit, seating surrounding the rink and is a green
project reducing energy costs.
Motion: James Butler moved the Board to approve the Resolution utilizing TIFA
fund balance in the amount of $400,000 to assist as a community match.
Seconded by Kim Coleman.
