Summary
A March 2, 2021 TIF public hearing on a proposed mixed-use redevelopment at 1002 South 6th Avenue featured a developer presentation seeking tax-exempt consideration and trustee questions about exemption eligibility; the board deferred action and requested additional materials.
A public hearing on March 2, 2021 reviewed a proposed redevelopment for 1002 South 6th Avenue in Maywood’s Madison Street / Fifth Avenue TIF Redevelopment Project Area. The presentation included remarks by representatives of Access Health and Housing LLC and commentary from IFF; Village Attorney Michael Jurusik provided an overview of the tax-exempt request.
Trustees I. Brandon and N. Booker raised concerns about whether the proposal qualified for tax-exempt status under applicable rules. Developer representative Deena Bell responded to trustees’ questions during the hearing; public commenter D. Harvey asked questions as well. Village staff offered no formal recommendation at the hearing and the board took no action, adjourning the TIF hearing at 8:32 p.m. and reconvening the special meeting.
The board indicated it wanted additional documentation addressing the tax-exempt status and related project details before any resolution or redevelopment agreement would be approved. Trustee comments and staff follow-up requests were procedural and focused on eligibility and documentation rather than approval of terms at this meeting.
The TIF hearing record notes the developer presentation, staff overview and trustee questioning; no formal vote or adoption of a redevelopment agreement occurred.
The matter remains open for further submittal and review; trustees asked the developer to return with additional information for the board’s consideration at a future meeting.
