SUBJECT: Andover Station North Lot Sale Discussion
DATE: January 2, 2013
INTRODUCTION
Staff has been working with a company on their interest to purchase 4 -5 acres in Andover Station

reimbursed for the value of the land through the increment collected from the increased taxes
generated by the construction of the improvements (building).

Discuss the EDA's interest in the creation of a TIF District and provide direction to staff.
