JGS Lake Zurich West, LLC is requesting TIF assistance related to the implementation of a new manufacturing line at 550 Enterprise Parkway. The company is considering this location for manufacturing equipment upgrades which would increase the overall investment in the community and create 8 — 10 full-time positions. JGS Lake Zurich West, LLC is a component of Geremarie, a company that has been operating in the Lake Zurich industrial park at 1275 Ensell Road manufacturing aluminum components for over 20 years. Since its initial decision over two decades ago to be in Lake Zurich, Geremarie has built several additions to the building as it has seen increased demand for its product. JGS Lake Zurich Wests’ total project costs for the new development at 550 Enterprise Parkway is no less than $8.5 million, including the cost of the land, site work, engineering and construction, permit fees, the installation of manufacturing line equipment, and electric/gas utility connections. The proposed TIF redevelopment proposal will help offset this significant investment cost with a rebate of $626,000 of future property taxes over several years through the Tax Increment Finance District #4 (industrial TIF), which equates to approximately 7.4% of the overall costs of this manufacturing company expansion project. Asst. to the Village Manager, Kyle Kordell, gave an explanation of the proposal and answered the Board’s questions.

The FY 2023 budget currently includes $50,000 in the General Fund for an update to the Comprehensive Plan. The Teska proposal is $119,555, necessitating additional funding of approximately $70,000 in the FY 2023 budget.
