Resolution Establishing Ann Arbor Industrial Development District 2010-010 for a portion of 2311 Green Road - Green Road Associates
Memorandum
Attached please find for Council action the necessary resolution to establish an industrial development district as requested by City Council on August 16, 2010.
State law requires that an industrial development district may be established after a public hearing by the local governing body. Establishment of an industrial development district is required prior to receipt of any applications for an industrial facilities exemption certificate within the industrial development district.
The property owner has requested the City establish an abatement district so that an application may be filed for consideration. Approval of this resolution would establish the district and permit the tenant to file an application for Council consideration.
