Council approves TIF inducement for proposed hotel with SK Vernon, LLC in I‑57/Route 15 area
Summary
The Mt. Vernon City Council approved a resolution to induce redevelopment with SK Vernon, LLC for a proposed hotel on S. 44th Street, making certain land purchases potentially TIF‑eligible for reimbursement during negotiation of a development agreement.
The Mt. Vernon City Council on Feb. 18 approved a resolution to induce redevelopment within the I‑57/State Route 15 TIF redevelopment area with SK Vernon, LLC to support a proposed hotel project on S. 44th Street.
Assistant City Manager Nathan McKenna said the developer plans a new hotel and intends to acquire additional property to accommodate parking; the inducement resolution would make the cost of those purchases eligible for TIF reimbursement as part of future development negotiations. The council previously passed an inducement resolution for the project, McKenna said, and voted in favor of the current resolution (motion by Joe Gliosci; second by Donte Moore).
The meeting minutes record approval of Resolution #2025‑06. The minutes do not specify projected project costs, timelines or the specific tax‑increment financing terms; council members recorded a unanimous vote among those present (Yeas: Gliosci, Moore, Young and Lewis; Absent: Botch).
