Overview
The Oak Park EDC is recommending that the Village enter into a Sales Tax Sharing agreement with Pioneer Property to redevelop the property located at 1 Lake Street (previous address 412 N. Austin Boulevard) into a restaurant. The owner changed the address for branding purposes.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Adopt the Ordinance
Fiscal Impact
See attached recommendation.
Background
The Oak Park EDC has assisted Pioneer Property Advisors with marketing efforts since the company purchased 1 Lake Street (previous address 412 N Austin Boulevard)in 2012, with limited favorable response. The restaurant concept as proposed will be a full service brew-pub, offering 144 seats on two levels with a rooftop deck/bar area. The Oak Park EDC is recommending to support the project with an incentive payable in the form of an initial grant of $50,000 and a tiered rebate of future sales taxes generated by the proposed tenant, a full-service brewpub, or another similar operation.
