Years of ground freezing, tree roots, as well as heavy equipment used in site demolition have caused the uneven sections to rise. It is necessary to re-grade the underlayment rather than patch the joints. TASK o Recommended replacement for all raised sidewalk sections (in excess of 1") SIZE o 415 square feet of recommended sidewalk replacement from University Avenue to Washington Street o 2 sidewalk ramps COST o $5 to $6 per square feet to remove and replace concrete with 6" thick city standard sidewalk (Based on 4 bids by private contractors on 1000 sq. ft.) APPENDIX II: HISTORIC PRESERVATION APPENDIX ILA. EXPLANATION OF BUILDING RATINGS These ratings were based upon field observation and archival research by two graduate students in architecture with a specialty in historic buildings. Physical condition ratings are based on the architectural-engineering consultants' report interpreted in a less technical BuUdings were evaluated for their individual merit as well as in context with the whole street. CRITERIA Aesthetic Details : Architectural elements on a buUding give the overall building architectural merit and interest Examples of good details are features which are in historical character with the building, such as cornices, cast iron store fronts, stone lintels or decorations. Buildings with few details or that have lost details due to alterations have lesser values. Materials : The materials of which the building is constructed can lend support to the historical character of the street. Common to North First Street is red brick, cast iron store fronts, and stone lintels. Buildings which have had their original materials altered have lesser values. Contribution to building fabric : Buildings do not stand alone, tiiey must be viewed in context with the overall streetscape. The relative size, scale and proportions of a building helps create a cohesive streetscape. Another factor to consider is whether the building is in historical character with the street in regards to style, materials and details. Style : The architectural style in which a building was designed contributes to the historic character of the street. Buildings may be designed in "high style" with many details and good use of materials or they may be more vernacular with fewer extravagances. Buildings which have been altered or have lost important details lose stylistic value. Integrity : Whether a building has been altered from its original appearance affects the character of the street. The fewer alterations a building has undergone, the more likely it will contribute to the historic character of the street Physical Current condition : The current physical condition of the building. Buildings which need litUe or no physical improvements are of high value. Buildings which have structural problems or severe restoration needs have a low value. Condition attainable : Based on the current condition of the building, this is an evaluation of the ease or difficulty of restoring the building to good, habitable shape. Buildings which require extensive rehabilitation or historic restoration will be more difficult to fully rehabilitate. Feasibility of rehabHitarion : An economic comparison of the costs to fully rehabilitate and restore versus the cost to demolish the existing structure and build a new structure. New construction is estimated to be one story, covering the same square footage as the original and with a construction cost of $70/SF. Buildings in which rehab would cost less than half are of high value. Buildings in which rehab would cost the same or more have no economic feasibilty. Historical Age : The appoximate date of construction for the building. Buildings which have had their facades altered no longer reflect their age and therefore have little value. Most of the historic buildings on the street were built by 1900. Uses : What buildings were used for can have historical importance for the area. Buildings which have had unusual or long term uses are of high value. Buildings which have contributed littie to the business character of the street or are of typical historical uses have less value. Contribution to the minority community : Buildings which have a direct business or social link to the historic minority community serve an important historical role to that community. Buildings which housed businesses that served or were owned by minorities are of high historical value. A building may have also served as a social meeting place for minorities, such as lodges or clubs. Buildings which did not diiecUy relate to the minority community before 1965 (before white flight) or serve any social needs probably have littie historical social value to the minority community. Note: It was not always possible to determine if the building served minorities before 1965. In these cases it was assumed that they did not.

Patterns/Rhythms Materials, colors, textures, size and proportion of building elements or landscape features repeat to create rhythmic repetition or patterns. o Patterns are found in building materials and colors, which should be carried from old to new. o Building elements such as windows on upper stories of commercial buildings create patterns when they have matching shapes and are spaced similarly across facades. o Consistent spaces or voids between the buildings and the buildings themselves cause a rhythm that is experienced when travelling the street. o Trees and other landscaping elements when planted at regular interviews can create patterns, or emphasize the patterns of buildings. in. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF SUPPLY SIDE ANALYSIS OF NORTH FIRST ST. o This section summarizes findings from three sets of surveys: existing business, potential businesses, and economic development experts. o In addition to the Police Station and Housing Authority, which also front on University Avenue and are a-typical of the smaller businesses, there 10 businesses on the East side of North First. There are also 14 separate parcels of land in just the first two block leaving three vacant lots and one vacant building. The 10 businesses supply the following services: o Three of the 10 refused or were never available to speak with enumerators over the two months that surveys were being administered o Four of the businesses surveyed were determined to be profitable and thrive in the low-cost environment available on North First. Three of the four are hair care services catering to special needs of the African American Community. o Three of the businesses surveyed were determined to be marginal or struggling financially despite the low-cost overhead environment. o The biggest complaints from the current businesses is the neglect of city maintained infrastructure and police support to the area. There is clear mistrust of the city by most of these businesses and property owners. o About 90% of the clients to all 7 businesses surveyed are African American as are the business owners. There are strongly mixed feeling about whether the area should be redeveloped with an identity as an African American commercial district. While there are recognized unmet service needs of the African American community, and opportunities to fill this niche, it can also be stigmatizing and limit growth potential. Half the current owners oppose this concept, none of the potential business would want such a recognition, and the development experts feel such a district is a good idea but not in this location. The existing "catchment area" of a 1/2 mile radius, and the through traffic it enjoys, gives North First Street a much wider potential audience. o Demand for services in the area focused on the most obvious of commercial businesses from grocery to convenience stores, drug stores to restaurants. All of these "generic" commercial establishments already exist in ample supply within a reasonable service distance of North First Street, making it very unlikely that any investor would be forthcoming for these services in this location. However, all of the business people and development experts evaluate North First as an attractive location for specialty shops in dining, clothing, entertainment and other areas, that can start with small inventories and grow as the commercial area grows and improves. o Despite the potential of the location, everyone agrees the area suffers from a very negative image whether real of falsely perceived. This image must be turned around before private investors will invest without deep subsidy or risk reduction. This includes a high crime rate, years of neglect, a run down look, and structural safety problems. o Everyone looking at the current conditions on North First agrees that there will be few new investors and little potential for growth without the following: 1. a clear plan of action agreed upon by all parties, the city, existing business, banks and other investors; 2. The city taking the lead and the major redevelopment risks; 3. The existing businesses organized with a unified commitment to the redevelopment plan, and linked up with the larger East University Avenue business redevelopment for purposes of political negotiations. o Without financial and business training assistance, none of the current business are likely to survive rapidly increasing costs associated with redevelopment of the area. A. Introduction to Supply-Side Assessment The objectives of the Supply Team were to assess the nature of the businesses which arc currently supplying goods and services on North First Street and to evaluate the prospects of the area for redevelopment. Interviews were conducted with three groups of informants- proprietors whose businesses are currently located on North First Street, proprietors whose businesses are located elsewhere in Champaign, and economic development and planning professionals who are familiar with the North First Street area. In addition to interviewing professionals in these three areas, the Supply Team studied the size of teh market area which may be served by North First Street and compared the goods and services being supplied there to the goods and services being supplied from other areas in Champaign. The results of this study and teh interviews were used by the Supply Team to answer the following questions. What are the current commercial land uses on North First Street? The owners of North First Street businesses were interviewed in order to determine what goods and services are supplied in the area, and to determine what impact redevelopment may have on these businesses. Is North First Street the best location for the businesses which presently operate there? In addition to asking the business owners about their reasons for locating their businesses on North First Street, a study was conducted which sought to determine whether markets which are currentiy being served by North First Street businesses also being served at other locations. This study reviewed the location of businessees which provide various goods and services and compared the markets that these businesses serve to the markets which are served by North First Street businesses. North First Street business owners, economic development professionals and other proprietors whose businesses are not located on North First Street were also asked whether the area functions as an African American commercial district These respondents were asked questions regarding the extent to which any redevelopment strategy should attempt to achieve an African American commercial district in the area. Other Icoations for an Afrcian Amercian commercial district were also explored with these respondents. What other businesses or land uses would be viable on North First Street? North First Street business owners were asked to assess what goods and services they think their customers want. In addition, other small business owners and economic development professionals were asked to assess the demand for goods and services in the area. All respondents were asked their opinions regarding alternative redevelopment strategies that might be taken on North First Street APPENDIX m: SUPPLY SffiE MARKET ASSESSMENT III.A Economic Development Key Informants Questionnaire Draft: 12/17/93 Supply Side-J.

When you think of North First Street - that is, the commercial area between University and Washington, and the other businesses around there what comes to mind? -How important is its market share in terms of the Champaign-Urbana area? -Whom in particular do you see it serving or catering to? • what indicates that this area serves ? • how important is this market share? eg, how large a share of the ^market do you think this area serves? • how long has the area served ? • has it been different in the past, as far as you know? Bearing in mind where this area is located and how it is linked with various other commercial centers in town (explanation: First Street goes to Green which goes to campus, it also goes to Market Street and out to Market Place. University goes into downtown Urbana and downtown Champaign), what businesses do you think could hope to do well there? (Probe for specific business types, and for store/chain names if forthcoming.) In relation to what's there now, what size of development could viably function there, in your opinion? (Bear in mind that if they are being negative, we still need to know what it would take for this area to take off again. Probe as far as you can to get this answer.) What do you think it would take to get new businesses there? • A change in appearance? • Different or improved infrastructure? • Financial incentives or guarantees to current and new business? • Changes in the surrounding neighborhood? -In terms of land use? -In terms of who lives there (race? income?)? • Perceptions of crime or safety problems? • Overall image? How do you think development of nearby areas would impact North First Street? // the area were to remain commercial, what do you think should be done with it? (Probe for specifics of how the area should be redeveloped. Need specifics here.) Explanation: • Code enforcement/make it safe • Total redevelopment • Perhaps a combination of both Regarding redevelopment of any kind what roles do you see the city and local banks playing? • How much of a role do you think the city should play, and what kind of role should that be? • What actions do you feel the city needs to take in order for redevelopment to begin? • What role should banks play and how extensive should this role be? • Should it be one bank, or should there be a development corporation, with a number of banks and other entities sharing the risk? / will now read to you several different redevelopment scenarios. I would like for you to explain to me the economic and political feasibility of each... (Be siu^e to get feed back after each scenario) • City tears down and land banks the property that is dilapidated until such a time that the private economy warrants new development. • City uses urban renewal to acquire and re-plat the area, and a single developer builds or infills a single office, commercial, residential or mixed use development and rents our or sells space. • City builds or heavily subsidizes 2-3 infill buildings and they begin a market trend that naturally turns around the area. • The area banks pool the risk through their community development corporation and CRA incentives, and along with the city subsidies they take the lead in redevelopment. • The city and banks help a community based CDC form and which takes the lead on redevelopment. -Which of these do you feel is most likely to happen? Why? Do you see some other more likely scenario taking place that we haven't mentioned, one that makes more sense in your opinion? • What is it? • Why do you think this is likely? • Do you think this is preferable? Why or why not? • What would be preferable in your opinion? Who do you think (who do you know of) will be most involved in the redevelopment of this area? • who SHOULD be involved? • what would it take to get those people involved? (If they see any kind of extensive redevelopment:) Who is a likely developer? Do you think the zoning should be changed so as to set up a different land use there? Some people say north first should be preserved as an African American commercial area (explanation may be nee - eg, if done correctly, it can be viable and also give the Black community a social/commercial focus point that is their own.) • Do you think there should be such an area? • If so, where do you think the best location for this area is? -Bradley and Market; other areas? Some cities have areas which serve as incubators for training and developing new entrepreneurs with struggling private businesses. In Champaign-Urbana, if such an incubator were developed, it might be a strip or a small group of businesses where rents are subsidized, where a community college could train and spin-off business in an effort to provide an avenue of opportunity to the business in an effort to provide an avenue of opportunity to the poor they don't now have. • Do you think C-U could use such an incubator? Why or why not? • Would North First be a good location for such an incubator? Why or why not? • What level of support for this area do you think is appropriate for the city to provide? for other businesses in C-U to provide? [UNIVERSITY AVENUE BUSINESSES ONLY] What was it about this area that made you locate or relocate here? • location • neighbors • clientele If North First Street had been redeveloped and had similar rents to your current location, would you have considered locating there? • why or why not? How much might North First Street expect to become part of the business growth on University? • eg, could it eventually be considered part of this district? • do you think that's a favorable outcome (eg, would it be a good thing)? ill.B Key Informant Questionnaire (as differentiated from Economic Development K.

We appreciate the opportunity to get your ideas on business in this area. Your responses are valuable to us and will be kept confidential. There are no specific answers we are looking for. When you think of North First Street - that is, the commercial area between University and Washington, and the other businesses around there what comes to mind? -How important is its market share in terms of the Champaign-Urbana area? -Whom in particular do you see it serving or catering to? • what indicates that this area serves ? • how important is this market share? eg, how large a share of the market do you think this area serves? • how long has the area served ? • has it been different in the past, as far as you know? Key Informants Questionnaire Bearing in mind ivJiere this area is located and hoxv it is linked with various other commercial centers in toum (explanation: First Street goes to Green which goes to campus; it also goes to Market Street and out to Market Place. Univ. goes into downtown U. and downtown C), what businesses do you think could hope to do well there? (Probe for specific business types, and for store/chain names if forthcoming.) (Bear in mind that if they are being negative, we still need to know what it would take for this area to take off again. Probe as far as you can to get this answer.) YJhat do you think it would take to get new businesses there? • A change in appearance? • Different or improved infrastructure? • Financial incentives or guarantees to current and new business? • Changes in the surrounding neighborhood? -In terms of land use? -In terms of who lives there (race? income?)? • Perceptions of crime or safety problems? • Overall image?

Explanation: • Improvement of existing buildings • Total redevelopment • Perhaps a combination of both. Regarding redevelopment of any kind wliat roles do you see tlie city and local banks playing? • How much of a role do you think the city should play, and what kind of role should that be? • What actions do you feels the city needs to take in order for redevelopment to begin? • What role should banks play and how extensive should this role be? • Should it be one bank, or should there be a development corporation, with a number of banks and other entities sharing the risk? Who do you think (who do you know of) will be most involved in the redevelopment of this area? • who SHOULD be involved? • what would it take to get those people involved? (If they see any kind of extensive redevelopment:) Who is a likely developer? Some people say north first should be preserved as an African American commercial area (explanation may be nee - eg, if done correctly, it can be viable and also give the Black community a social/commercial focus point that is their own.) • Do you think tliere sliould be such an area? • If so, where do you think the best location for this area is? -Bradley and Market; other areas?

To overcome these restrictions funds are provided indirecdy through city economic development corporations that administer city grants and loans. In states where cities are granted wider financial powers, public banking is becoming an innovative device whereby direct loans, direct and indirect interest subsidies, and loan guarantees are available to private businesses for development purposes. Generally, loans are the most flexible financial tool available to leverage private investment because they can be tailored to fit the needs of the borrower. Loans usually differ in terms of purpose, size, amortization schedule, and repayment status. Lending institutions are specializing in the kinds of loans that they will provide, whether they be for land, buildings, equipment, working capital, small business enterprises, or medium business enterprises. The repayment schedule, known as the amortization schedule can last from 1 to 30 years, depending on the purpose of the loan. Innovative amortization schedules include balloon loans and deferred principle payments. Applicability to North First Street Many banks are currentiy exploring ways to cover the gaps in providing loans to low and moderate income small business owners and operators. A problem with the current structure of commercial lending is that loan applications under $15,000 are usually denied because there is not sufficient profit available to the lender. The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission is currentiy working to create a system by which small business owners who need less than $15,000 will be able to obtain loans through private corporations such as the Champaign County Community Development Corporation, which is a pooled risk consortium of banks. Another available option is the increased use of Community Reinvestment Act funds provided by local lenders for commercial rather than residential loans. Historically, CRA funds have only been used for residential loans. Use of CRA requires some public encouragement because the incentives to get involved within the Federal banking system are not that strong. Type 2 Name of Program Champaign County Community Development Corporauon Type of Funding Private/Government ^hToT^P^"' 'cSTuni-y I^ve.opn,e„. O»rporado„ was es,abUshed .wo yea.s ago ,0 pm^dfemploymem oppormniries, financing for smaU busmess, and affordable housing to Champaign County. They offer County-wide assistance by applicanon. The CCCDC has two types of funds available, Community Service Block Grant (CSBG), and Sm^^° Developtn^Assistance ftogram (CDAP see above). Both thypes of funds can be3 foi- aU the purposes mentioned above, however, CDAP funds are not usually appropria^ by the S^nty for projects with the Cides of Urbana or Chantap.gn. Both Ctttes rSement'districts. mat tMs means is that the Cides teceive thetr funds dtrectly from the federal government so they are ineligible for the funds the County distributes. Type One Name of Program: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Type of Funding: City Government Description of Funding Source: Community Development Block grants allow substantial funding flexibility and can be used to match other Federal aid sources such as UDAG. Eligible applicants include cities, counties, states and Indian tribes. Local governments establish priorities for development activities and allocate funds accordingly. CDBG funds are classified as metro entitiements, small-city entitlements, and administered discretionary funds. Metro funds are given to cities with a population of 50,000 or naore that are central cities in a Metropolitan Statistical Area. Grants which generally focus on low/moderate income areas are distributed according to a dual formula based on variables of population, poverty, age of housing stock, overcrowded housing, and growth lag. Eligible activities include comprehensive planning, project planning, architectiuul and engineering services, land acquisition, clearance and relocation, rehab, new construction, public works and infrastructure improvements. Small Cities grants are aimed at small cities located in metro and non-metro areas for purposes of physical and economic development. Funds are distributed on the basis of type of program, single purpose versus comprehensive, and specific criteria established by HUD. Economic development proposals which can be submitted under either single purpose or comprehensive program grants must indicate participation by citizens and a strong private commitment. If a city chooses, CDBG funds can be made available to private non-profit organizations, neighborhood based non-profit groups, local development companies, and small business investment companies. Business capitalization can be used for grants, loans, loan guarantees, and technical assistance services to small firms, the flexibility in distribution of CDBG funds coupled witii the wide range of activities eligible for use by public and non-profit groups can significantiy affect implementation of local economic development strategies. Applicability to North First Street: Champaign County's CDBG fund now sits at approximately $1 million dollars. This has been an increase in the funds that are available firom last year by about $250,000. If CDBG money were to be allocated to North First Street the most likely scenario for the use of these funds would be for demolition of various buildings and/or relocation costs that may occur because of the demoUtion. The approximate amount of funding that North First Street would be able to obtain would be in the area of $150,000. Type One Name of Program: Urban Development Action Grants (UDAG) Type of Funding: Lx)cal and Federal Government Description of Funding Source: Urban development action grants are available to severely distressed urban cities and counties on a grant or loan basis from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for economic development and neighborhood revitalization purposes. Action grants are used to fund discrete projects for commercialAndustrial and residential development in areas adversely affected by excessive housing abandonment or deterioration, population and outmigration, and tax base declines. To receive UDAG fiinds cities and metro areas must be distressed in 2 of 4 categories: age of housing stock, per capita income, population lag/decline, unemployment, job lag/decline, and poverty. Small cities must establish distress levels for age of housing stock, per capita income, population lag/decline, and poverty. Eligible activities include land acquisition, clearance and relocation, rehab, new construction, public works and infrastructure, and equipment and machinery. The Department of Housing and Urban Development considers the potential impacts of the proposed project on low/moderate income persons and areas, financial participation and commitments by local private and public groups, project feasibility, and the leveraging ratio. UDAG funds are limited to physical development activities and have generally been used to construct parking facilities, make general public facility improvements, commercial/industrial utility improvements, land cost subsidies, and developer improvement loans. Applicability to North First Street: UDAG was a one time allocation fund set up by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Champaign received approximately $1.9 million, 33% which mat be used for economic development grants and loans. Currentiy the funds for economic development grants and loans are still available, and have not been delegated to any specific use. UDAG funds may be used for start-up loans and low-interest blended loans, for the establishment and redevelopment of existing buildings in City-established target areas. The most likely scenario would be to use UDAG funds for major redevelopment subsidy. Type One Name of Program Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) Type of Program State Description of Program: Local governments are provide funding assistance for the purpose of acquiring and/or developing public outdoor recreation areas. Approved projects are eligible for up to 50% reimbursement. Eligible participants in the OSLAD program include Counties, Municipalities, Townships, Special Districts: park, conservation and forest preserve districts, and any unit of local government empowered to acquire and develop public outdoor recreation lands. Fiscal Data (dollars in thousands) FY 1990 FY 1991 FY 1992 FY 1993 9,700.0 $1960.0 $3,724.0 $5,276.9 Applicability to North First Street: OSLAD has never been used in Champaign, however, it may be ideal funding source to finance the development of a park between Hill and Washington Streets. Funds which currendy may be available to Champaign through OSLAD could amount to $400,000. fi Type One Name of Program Urban Renewal Type of Funding Federal Description of Program The cities Urban Renewal fund is used in different building activities aimed at restoring the decayed and obsolete physical urban elements and therebye making them functionally sound according to the current standards. Areas where preservation and restoration are highly needed are elgible for Urban Renewal Funds. The funds are distributed on a apllication basis. Currentiy Champaign Urbana has funds allocated for use in Urban Renewal areas. Applicability to North First Street This program is a key to the development of North First Street This is an ideal funding source to be used for infrastrucutre repair and streetscaping. Funds are already available and should be considered a very likely source. Type One Name of Program Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) Type of Funding State Description of Funding Source: CDAP assists Illinois* local governments with financing for economic development, public facilities and housing rehabilitation projects. The grant funds may be loaned to businesses for projects which will create or retain jobs within the community. Grant funds may also be used by the local government for improvements to public infrastructure that directly support economic development Under the housing rehabilitation component, grants are provided to communities to assist with rehabilitating substandard housing. Under the public facilities components, grants are provided to assist communities with planning, engineering and construction costs associated with public works improvements. Also, the department has set aside funds to help communities address accessibility standards. The program is targeted to helping primarily low and moderate-income persons. Applicability to North First Street The program certainly could be beneficial to the rehabilitation of North First Street. A combination of CDAP and possibly a Federal fund may provide the perfect combination for the financing of a North First Street project Type One Name of Program Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Type of Funding District Funding Description of Funding Source The tax increment refers to the increase in tax revenues resulting from new development. The increment is used to finance public development projects or to repay either general obligation bonds (based on the fiill faith and credit of the government unit) or revenue bonds (based on the credit of the project) which have been issued to finance development activities. When using tax increment financing, property is designated as a tax increment site or district. The time for which the tax increment is valid can be open-ended, closed, or dependent on the completion of the project and the repayment of the bonds. Following designation as a tax increment area, taxes are assessed on the underdeveloped property order to establish the current tax base and tax revenues. The tax base is then frozen at this level for the tax increment period. Following development, property valuation and millage rates are expected to increase, resulting in increased tax revenues. The increments of revenues above the frozen base are applied to project financing. Tax increment devices are generally utilized by city councils, city planning and development offices, development commissions, industrial development commissions, and redevelopment commissions. Eligible activities for TIF include debt service, utilities, land assembly, relocation, demolition, site preparation, markdowns, and street improvements. These activities may be related to residential, commercial, and/or industrial purposes. The revenue capacity from TIF is large; however, there is a certain amount of risk associated with financing projects with this device. If the property valuation is not increased due to a lower level of private investment than expected, the tax increment may not be realized. If this occurs, funds will not be available to finance the project or repay the bonds. In increment areas with an unlimited time period, this device may be extended indefinitely. In this case the municipality is faced with supplying services to the development without benefiting from revenues gained from the development. Advantages of tax increment financing include the fact that the municipality does not lose taxes collected prior to development and that the designated area does not involve special assessment. Applicability to North First Street A portion of the North First study area is located in the East Unviersity Avenue Tax Increment Financing district. TIF funds can be used for various redevelopment purposes. It is likely tiiat TIF funds will be used on North First Street, however, North First Street is only a small portion of a larger TIF district so competition for funds may be a problem. The City is currently working on an overall redevelopment plan for use of TEF funds. Type Two Name of Program: Special Assessment Districts Type of Funding: Government Description of Funding Type: Special assessments are generally levied in historic preservation areas, small residential areas, and/or commercial blocks. Special taxes arc assessed on either an ad valorem basis or on a special benefit basis. In districts in which the ad valorem procedure is used , taxes are assessed on the basis of structural footage, revenues received from the property, and market changes. In districts in which the special benefit technique is applied, taxes are generally levied according to front or square footage and in some cases on revenues from the property. In contrast to the ad valorem method which includes the unpredictable factor of market changes, the special benefit technique may facilitate more private investment. Based on a negotiated formula the investor is more able to determine the benefits of locating in a special district Revenues from special tax levies are used to finance public services and development activities within the designated area or retire bonds issued to finance these activities. Applicability to North First Street The City of Champaign is currendy working to establish a special assessment district for its Downtown. For a special assessment or special service district to be an effective tool for redevelopment, a district must already have an established tax base and existing owners must be capable of providing the additional tax used to fund redevelopment. Presendy, Nonh First Street is not a candidate for establishment of such a district because of existing conditions. If property owners on North First Street choose to work with the East University Avenue Merchants Association (Downtown East) in creating a formal not-for-profit corporation in the futiue, the larger district may be able to effectively establish and contribute to a special assessment disdict. Type Two Name of Program: Revolving Loan Funds Type of Funding: Private Description of Funding Source: A revolving loan fund is basically a pool of money capitalized from payments received on outstanding loans. Loan payments going into the fund are then used to finance development projects for new borrowers. In this sense, money recycles or revolves through the fund. Generally, revolving loan funds are used to finance high-risk projects in cases where conventional financing is refused. The loan funds which are growing throughout the U.S., can be used for many development activities including land and property acquisition , site preparation and rehab. Initial capitalization of revolving loan funds is usually obtained in one of two ways: grants from private financial institutions and foundations may be used as seed money to establish the loan fund or a government unit may create a non-profit agency through which the city allocates CDBG monies for the fund. In the latter cases, CDBG funds are used to leverage further investment and maintain a steady cash flow in the fund. Type Two Name of Program SBA Assistance Programs Type of Funding Government Description of Funding Source SBA (7)a Business Loans and Loan Guarantees: In general, SBA programs encourage risk sharing, foster economic growth and facilitate success of small business enterprises. Section (7)a, the most widely used SBA program, provides loans and loan guarantees to independently owned profit-making small businesses. Depending on the size of the city in which the business is located, the applicants must submit letters of denial from local financial institutions, personal financial statements, management resumes, and financial statements of any business affiliates. Eligible activities for (7)a funds include working capital, inventory, various debt consolidations, property acquisition, construction, rehab, leasehold improvements, and equipment and machinery. Generally, (7)a loans and loan guarantees cannot be used with IRB's or for such purposes as the payment of bank taxes, personal debt payments speculation, or bailout of creditors. Limits for (7)a loans vary from $150,000 to $350,000 depending on the office level; and guarantees may be made for 90% of the loan up to a maximum of $500,000. Since small businesses play a significant role in an area's overall business activity picture, (7)a funds as well as other SBA program funds can affect economic development patterns. Applicability to North First Street: SBA is a federal program that has offered assistance to communities such as North First Street. To qualify for this type of loan or loan-guarantee business owners will have to produce letters of denial from various lending institutions. It is unable to find out who applied for commercial loans because this is not publicly held information. Currently it is hard to determine what the probability is for certain business on North First Street to qualify for this program. Type 2 Name of Program SBA Tree Planting Initiative Type of Funding Government Description of Funding Source: The Small Business Administration Tree Planting Initiative has been developed for the purpose of contracting with small businesses to plant trees on public lands. The program is to encoiu^ge and develop the capacity of small business concerns. Lx)cal govemmetal units must provide a minimum of 40% funding in the matching grant program. Applicability to North First Street Program such as this can be used not only to enhnace North First Street aesthetically, but also would provide jobs for local small businesses. 1 Type Two Name of Program Job Training Partnership Act Type of Funding Government Description of Funding Source: Under Employment and Training Administration, the Job Training Partnership Act(JTPA) provides various programs whereby state and local government sponsors receive funds for manpower activities. Manpower programs are being linked more frequently with economic development activities in an effort to develop a labor force with skills matching those required by are enterprise. One program component which encourages JTPA linkages with economic development is the ability of local governments to offer land write-downs, tax abatements, and/or public services to businesses hiring JTPA eligible employees. Another incentive to business is the receipt of wage subsidies for trainees. JTPA activities can be joindy used with other Federal assistance programs, such as CDBG and EDA. Applicability to North First Street: JTPA has been used before in the Champaign Urbana for various job training and skill development purposes. North First Street is eligible for this program but it is less likely to be a large part of the redevelopment of North First Street Type Two Name of Program Industrial Revenue Bonds (ERB's) Type of Funding Government Bonds Description IRB's are issued by a government agency to a developer/firm. IRB's are not limited to redevelopment activities, rather, they can be used to finance a variety of commercial and industrial activities. IRB's are issued to a developer with the assistance of a bond counsel, a local government representative, and the IRS. The credit of IRBs is based on the firm's reputation. ERBs are federally tax exempt and are associated with lower interest rate because of the tax exempt status, IRBs are basically a federal incentive device rather tiian a state/local incentive tool, in that the federal government is providing a development subsidy in the form of a tax exemption. Developers benefit in two ways. First, financing rates are lower when compared to conventional financing. Second, IRBs can be issued for 100% of the project's capital costs, thus requiring no equity financing on the part of the developers. A major problem associated witii the use of IRBs is related to the high fixed-cost of issuance. Many small enterprises are excluded from using IRB financing due to Uiese costs. In several states mechanisms are being developed to overcome this problem. Amount of Available Funding Maximum of $10 million to an individual developer Type Two Name of program: Enterprise Zone (EZ) Type of funding: Government Description of Funding Source: The Zone is the result of legislation action which has committed the State to stimulating economic growth and neighborhood revitalization. The Enterprise Zone is the culmination of efforts put forth by the City of Champaign and Champaign County to encourage private investment in areas targeted for development or rehabilitation such as North First Street. To be eligible for incentives, three basic criteria must be met: location, timing and project definition. This funding source will be beneficial for the area of North First Street which is not part of the TIF district. The Enterprise Zone Board, the Zone Administrator and the Deputy Zone Administrator, or their designers, are responsible for the successful administration of the policies and incentives of the Enterprise Zone. The Enterprize Zone Board establishes procedures for the operation and management of the Zone, as well as hearing appeals and making recommendations to the appropriate governmental body. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program BP America Type of Funding Grant Description of Funding Source: BP America supports several types of programs with grants. Some examples of their funding activities include: Education-revitalizing inner-city education; improving math and science instruction in secondary and higher education; scholarships; matching gifts to colleges, universities and secondary schools; Health and Human Services- Health services and social services in certain communities; Civic and Community-Urban redevelopment projects, small business development and job training initiatives, housing projects in low-income neighborhoods, minority business/career development; Culture and the Arts- Museums; art exhibits; dance; theater, orchestras; projects that encourage local/native involvement in the arts. BP is more likely to support projects that benefit the communities in which they have a significant operations. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program Bruner Foundation Type of Funding Grants Description of Funding Source: Any project that demonstrates excellence in the urban environment is a candidate for the Rudy Bruner Award. There are no distinctive categories. Projects may include, but are not limited to 1) revitalization projects; 2) mixed use public and or private developments; 3) preservation projects; 4) community development strategies and their implementation. Applications can be initiated by any person who has been involved in the planning, development, or operation of a project. The Rudy Bruner Awards given to all key participants in the development of the winning project. One key project and four finalists are selected. The winning project team receives $50,000 which it may use in any way that benefits the project. The other finalists receive $1000 honorariums. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program Surdna Foundation Type of Funding Grant Description of funding Source: The Foundation's goals in this program are to: revitalize the economic, social, educational, and cultural life of communities and the people that live in them; transform current systems so that people can de served-and serve themselves-in a holistic, comprehensive and integrated manner, assist communities to be involved in planning and providing for local services; and develop national strategies for community development. They are particularly interested in fostering catalytic, entrepreneurial programs that offer solutions to difficult systematic problems. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program Twenty-First Century Foundation Type of Funding Grant Description of Funding Source: Twenty-First Century Foundation makes grants to organizations not to individuals. It is a small foundation that makes grants totaling between $50-$70,0(X) annually. The typical grant is for about $4,000, although many are smaller and a few larger. The Foundation makes grants principally in the following areas: 1) innovative approaches to the teaching of black children; 2) community economic development projects. On rare occasions the Foundation makes grants outside of these areas. Seldom are grants made for the arts, for the production of films, or for the holding of conferences. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program American Society of Interior Designers Type of Funding Grant Description of Funding Source: This competition is held every two years. The award is meant to encourage and support the advancement of professional activities in historic preservation and/or restoration. Educational institutions must apply on behalf of their students in these areas and must illustrate hoe the award will best assist the student if historic preservation and the design education community. The amount of the award is $3,000. The next deadline for application for the award is March 1994. Type Three (Grant) Name of Program Andy Warhol Foundation Type of Funding Grant Description of Funding Source: The Foundation does not fund individuals, only organizations. The Andy Warhol Foundation considers grants in three areas; 1) Curatorial Program-Grants to curatorial programs assist in the innovative presentation of visual arts with an emphasis projects that cultivate new expanded and diverse audiences. Projects may include exhibitions, catalogues, artist-in- residence programs, audience promotion, acquisitions, travel and study. This category also supports the work of choreographers and performing artists where the visual arts are an inherent element of the production; 2) Education Program-Grants are supported that improve the teaching of the visual arts, improving the visual arts curriculum; 3) Historic Preservation and Parks Program-Grants are supported which preserve parks and historic buildings, or which increase public participation in the urban planning process. « ^^ w > > H cn CD CD TP 3 T) O H CO 3 O 3 (/) D C/3 m c_ cr H u 3' 3' IQ -0 CU 3. 3 (S 3- 13' -i C C ro O •< g o 8 o o 09 cr (D 5 o w > w O o c o O O O c ■o 3 3- o_ •n o c Q. 2i 5' 3 3 s- 0) 3 w o o f 5" o' a> 3 Tl w O a> 3 C ^3 Tl O C 3 cx c Q. 3 CU -n o c 3 Q. 5" 3 -1 c 3 CD Tl O c 3 Q. 5' 3 > 3 CD o' o 0) 3 -n c 3 a.
