Financing District No. 23.
Jason Schneiderman requested Council approval of tax increment financing for a
proposed 130,000 square foot distribution center in the Interstate South Logistics Park
located at County Road 70 and Dodd Boulevard. The proposed distribution center would
serve the four Schneiderman’s stores in the Twin Cities, as well as stores in Duluth and
Rochester. The project will result in a minimum of 40 new full-time jobs.
Mr. Olson presented the proposed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 23 within
Airlake Redevelopment Project No. 1. He explained that the project would not be

economically feasible without tax increment financing, as there are significant costs to
extend road and utility infrastructure to the project site. The County Assessor has
provided an estimated market value of $6.5 million for the project, which would generate
an estimated $814,000 of tax increment over 11 years.
There were no questions or comments.

Warehouse Property LLC and Schneiderman Furniture, Inc.
Mr. Olson presented the proposed business subsidy for the Schneiderman’s Furniture
Distribution Center in the Interstate South Logistics Park. A contract for private
development allows the City to provide “pay-as-you-go” reimbursements consisting of
90% of the actual captured tax increments for a period of up to nine years beginning
with taxes payable in 2020 with a not-to-exceed amount of $732,637. This request for tax
increment financing is consistent with the City’s TIF and business subsidy policies.
