The board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution.

City staff described the JDH project as a $3.2 million investment on previously undeveloped property and said the site had no projected baseline sales prior to the proposed development. Staff showed packet exhibits projecting taxable sales beginning around $14,000,000 and outlined an incentive package that staff said would yield an estimated $1,600,000 in developer incentives over the life of the agreement, with an initial annual incentive in the packet of about $60,000. Staff clarified that the incentive structure for this project is effectively a 50/50 split between the city and the developer based on projected qualifying sales.

Tom Schreiner, chief operating officer of JDH, told the board the company does commercial roofing and sheet-metal work and emphasized ties to the community. \"I'm Tom Schreiner, JDH. I'm the chief operating officer. We're a commercial roofing and sheet metal company,\" Schreiner said. He noted the company has operated downtown for many years and that Jay Helton, identified as the owner, is an East Ridge High School alumnus who \"wanted to be back in East Ridge.\"

Staff said the project involved substantial site work (they referenced moving \"800 truckloads\" of dirt during site preparation) and that the development is expected to create local jobs; Schreiner said the company has recruited employees from East Ridge High School and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga construction program.

A motion to approve Resolution 2025-7-18 passed on a roll-call vote with Board member Allen, Board member Green, Board member Jones, Board member Pamplin and Chairperson Crow all recorded as voting yes. No amendments were recorded at the meeting.

City staff and board members characterized the approval as consistent with the Border Region program\u0000s purpose of encouraging development on previously non-revenue-generating parcels.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Industrial Development Board 7/17/25","oneSentenceSummary","The East Ridge board approved Resolution 2025-7-18 on July 17 to approve a Border Region sales-tax sharing agreement for JDH Company at 5615 Oakdale Drive; the vote was unanimous and staff said the site had no prior revenue baseline.","taxTitle","East Ridge, Hamilton County, Tennessee","taxId",70972,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6509375,"East Ridge approves tax-sharing deal for 4011 Ringgold Road shopping center",763,217000,980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5429501-3d596c95a844d5230bb62e6bbafcd046&start=217&end=980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5429501-3d596c95a844d5230bb62e6bbafcd046/thumbnail_217000.jpg","/articles/6509375/East-Ridge/Hamilton-County/Tennessee/East-Ridge-approves-tax-sharing-deal-for-4011-Ringgold-Road-shopping-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6509375-06c8945f758d01314c968df0e00fa2bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1773586229&Signature=ft8uKmwIBgOy4H4nH9wtHvzuIoIWts666zfF~9H9oBVZ54ovVd85pH6j~PQc~Y~zHuQBWwyaa1KwPS0URreKN~r2Uqsvyhd3gZMRc8LmJdK~yg9-ibT3hfOzsx1oYuaEumBI3wBqaAIZ5bQpdkKOUkwtRP~SBXvjvN0Igga8dUsMOeeWS1ChLk8z0EZIZd1IW5nAxrXj~gjUTw4~Sy8k0IvjfNUzPXkp9~bydfQuUBJ-Ja9TXMkkxKWVCJGwCTTnz~lxViwfzL7c9ptCtEG2wkFsFwB~C0sQ5DZp19Q1i47YI52c05JhImrHSid0glpQua8wSiv9wMd-0aJ5WmN5Tg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The East Ridge board on July 17 approved Resolution 2025-7-17, authorizing a Border Region sales-tax sharing agreement with ER Investment for a three-unit commercial development at 4011 Ringgold Road in East Ridge, Tennessee. The board voted 5-0 to adopt the measure.

City staff told the board the project is a three-unit shopping center with two units planned for retail use and one likely to be a laundromat. Staff said the total project cost is approximately $2,400,000 and that the city applied an estimated baseline of $17,000 to calculate Border Region revenue eligible for sharing.

The agreement allocates revenue from qualifying retail sales to a 70/30 split favoring the developer for the retail portion of the site (two-thirds of the development). City staff said the developer\u0000s projected return on the apportioned retail revenue could be roughly $1,000,000 if the retailer meets the revenue projections provided in the developer\u0000s pro forma. The staff presentation included two spreadsheets; staff clarified that the operative spreadsheet applies the two-thirds retail allocation and the 70/30 split.

Developer representative Dev Patel spoke to the board about the project vision and local ties. \"It's not just as, like, a standpoint for, like, for us as an investment where we make money, but we wanna go back to the community and serve them with proper service,\" Patel said. He described East Ridge as \"very welcoming\" and said the developer has \"plenty of investments throughout the city of East Ridge.\" The proposed tenant mix discussed in the meeting included a restaurant on the far right, a convenience store in the middle and a laundromat on the left.

Board members asked about the spreadsheet differences and staff explained the variance (about $40,000) stems from applying the retail-only reimbursement to two-thirds of the project\u0000s cost. The staff speaker framed the Border Region program as intended to \"incentivize good, reputable retailers to come to the community.\"

A motion to approve Resolution 2025-7-17 was made and seconded; the roll-call vote recorded Board member Allen, Board member Green, Board member Jones, Board member Pamplin and Chairperson Crow voting yes. City staff estimated construction would begin in 2025 with the project roughly complete by mid-2026.

The resolution directs city staff to finalize the Border Region reimbursement schedule with ER Investment consistent with the packet exhibits and the corrected spreadsheet. No amendments were recorded at the meeting.","The East Ridge board on July 17 approved Resolution 2025-7-17, a Border Region sales-tax sharing agreement with developer ER Investment for a three-unit commercial project at 4011 Ringgold Road; the vote was unanimous.","actionData","errors"]
