924 Main Street energy efficiency and rehabilitation

Description

The Prairie Canary building owner wants a TIF agreement covering about 30% of a $216,115 energy efficiency, rehab and equipment project. Council members questioned whether it's a realistic pilot model and whether city money should go to business equipment versus infrastructure.

Impact summary

Could set the template for future downtown energy-efficiency assistance — but only if the deal is structured so smaller owners can actually use it.
