In accordance with Wisconsin State Statutes, the Planning Commission has preliminarily determined that at least 50% of the area identified within the designated boundaries of the District qualifies as being in need of rehabilitation ‐ conservation. This designation is being made for the purposes of allowing for the possible use of Tax Incremental Financing to assist in the construction of public improvements and to provide other incentives for development and redevelopment in the proposed District boundaries. This designation will not affect your property valuation and is not a precursor to acquisition of private property by the City via eminent domain or any other means. The goal of the Tax Incremental Financing program is to enhance the value of the properties affected. You have been identified as an owner of real property located within the boundaries of the proposed District. Because your property falls within the boundary of the proposed District, you are being provided notice as required by Wisconsin State Statutes Section 66.1105(4)(a) and (c). A public hearing on this matter is scheduled for May 13, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbus City Hall, located at 105 N. Dickason Blvd. The meeting can also be accessed via Zoom. The City’s agenda center can be found at: https://www.cityofcolumbuswi.com/agendacenter. The Plan Commission meetings will be listed and the Zoom information can be found on the agenda. A copy of the public hearing notice is also attached. You are encouraged to attend this hearing if you have questions as the Tax Incremental Financing program will be explained and the Project Plan discussed. All citizens interested in commenting on the plan will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard. A copy of the proposed Project Plan, which includes information detailing the individual properties identified as in need of rehabilitation ‐ conservation, is available for your inspection and review at the City Hall. The Project Plan can also be found online at https://www.cityofcolumbuswi.com. Sincerely, Matt Schreiber City of Columbus Director of Planning and Development cc: Ehlers Paul A.
