III. ADOPT RESOLUTION HRA 2018-01 APPROVING DECERTIFICATION OF TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 13 OF THE HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Getschow said this action is to decertify the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district
established in 1996 as part of the major redevelopment of the Eden Prairie Mall. This has
been one of the most successful redevelopment projects in our City, and twenty years later
the obligations have been met. Once the district is decertified, the full tax base of the
project will go back on the Eden Prairie tax rolls.
Tyra-Lukens noted this was a very successful use of TIF financing. The mall had only a
few stores at the time the TIF was established, and now the mall is thriving.
MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Nelson, to adopt Resolution HRA 2018-01
approving decertification of Tax Increment Financing District No. 13 of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. Motion carried 5-0.
IV. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to adjourn the HRA meeting.
Motion carried 5-0. Chair Tyra-Lukens adjourned the HRA meeting at 7:04 PM.
