Federal Historic tax credit.                             
The Illinois Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program provides a state income tax credit equal to 25% of a project’s qualified expenditures to owners of certified historic structures located within River Edge Redevelopment Zones (Aurora, East St. Louis, Elgin, Rockford and soon Peoria) who undertake certified rehabilitations during the taxable year. For information on the current program, administered jointly by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA), go to:www.illinoishistory.gov/PS/IHPATCP.HTM.

Peoria Heights TIF Development

Peoria Heights developing high-end housing

PEORIA HEIGHTS — The Village Board and developer Jeff Giebelhausen have agreed to be partners in a plan to turn 125,000 square feet of vacant and vexing warehouse space into 124 high-end apartment units and 60,000 square feet of retail space.

The $23 million project to convert the long-empty Cohen’s Warehouse on East Marietta Street begins with a $7.5 million loan to the Giebelhausen Group from the village. It would be repaid by the increased property taxes the improved property would deliver and the sales taxes generated by the retail segment of the development, according to Village Administrator Matt Fick.

Good morning,
I hope your holiday weekend is off to a great start. 

Things are progressing on the project, and now that a significant amount of the underground work is done, things are taking shape above ground.  Here’s what’s scheduled for next week:

·         On Adams Street, a layer of asphalt will be placed in the parking lanes, as a base for decorative bricks; and decorative bricks will be installed in the sidewalk areas on the riverside of the street.

·         Work on Oak Street between Adams and Jefferson is scheduled to begin Wednesday, September 4th.  Contractor will begin sawing for removal of pavement, curb, sidewalk and driveways, followed by removal later in the week. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Oak Street, with flaggers at times.

Have a great weekend.  As always, if you have any questions or comments regarding the Warehouse District TIGER II Project, please visit our website at http://www.warehousedistrictpeoria.com.
