C. The Economic Development Department has assumed responsibility for operating
the Western Market Chalets. As of February 27, 2025, we have received applications
from eight returning vendors and nine new vendors. The Market will continue to
function as a business incubator space, with new initiatives being implemented to
support vendor success. To enhance vendor success, staff plans to provide business
development support through a partnership with Northern Initiatives for a business
skills assessment for each vendor. Additionally, we propose engaging a consultant to
facilitate three business workshops. After interviewing two potential consultants,
Henrietta Hadley of Infinite Solutions Consulting Group, LLC, and Leandra Nesbit of
Stingray Advisory Group LLC, staff evaluated both proposals. Both consultants
presented strong proposals. However, based on overall experience, alignment
with the Chalet's goals, and the structured 6-month engagement that matches the
Chalet lease term, staff recommends selecting Leandra Nesbit of Stingray Advisory
Group LLC. There are 17 chalets with 8 returning vendors and 10 new applicants. This
pilot program will determine further steps and requirements. Currently, each chalet
vendor is required to meet with Northern Initiatives in order to be a vendor. Ultimate
goal is to mentor for possible future brick and mortar business owners. Orientation for
current chalet vendors is in April. B. Tarrant made a motion to approve the allocation of
$5,000 to engage Leandra Nesbit of Stingray Advisory Group LLC to provide business
training and support for the Western Market Chalet vendors for the 2025 season.

Further Comments: S. Wilson shared 2024 tax capture is going into the Brownfield revolving
fund for potential use at some point. Terrace Pointe 2025 capture will be the last year we need
capture to pay off that developer. In 2026 we will begin capturing for the revolving fund for
that project. Both will capture for 5 years.
J. Eckholm shared financial abilities and program opportunities that the team will be working on
for the rest of the calendar year to present to the group.
J. Eckholm also shared current projects - The Vault in Core Plaza ran into budget overages and
will be reaching out to the group for local only brownfield. Lakeview Loft Space II are reaching
their end point of HUD financing process. Final renderings and site plan. Will see their
Brownfield plan come through.

Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
Application for Inclusion in the Muskegon Brownfield Plan
Introduction
The purpose of the City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority is to provide financial
incentives for economic development projects within the City of Muskegon where environmental
contamination, blight, or functional obsolescence create an impediment to redevelopment of
property. Inclusion of a project in the Muskegon Brownfield Plan can result in certain eligible
activities being financed through tax increment financing. The statutory authorization for
Brownfield Authorities and Brownfield tax increment financing are found in Michigan’s Public Act
381 of 1996, as amended, the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act (Act 381).
What are the advantages of being included in the Muskegon Brownfield Plan?
Tax Increment Financing
Inclusion in the Brownfield Plan allows the developer/business the use of tax increment financing
for reimbursement of “eligible activities”. These may include:
1) Environmental Response Activities, including Baseline Environmental Assessments,
Due Care Activities, and other environmental response activities.
2) Demolition
3) Public Infrastructure Improvements
4) Site Preparation
5) Lead and Asbestos Abatement
Do you want to be in the City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan?
First, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is the property where the project proposed a “facility”? (“Facility” is defined by Part
201 of NREPA as property where the concentration of a hazardous substance in soil
or groundwater exceeds the applicable Michigan Residential Generic Cleanup
Criteria.)
2) Is a building on the property where the project is proposed considered “Blighted”?
Blighted is defined by Act 381, as property that meets any of the following criteria:
a) Has been declared a public nuisance in accordance with a local housing,
building, plumbing, fire, or other related code or ordinance;
b) Is an attractive nuisance to children because of physical condition, use, or
occupancy;
c) Is a fire hazard or is otherwise dangerous to the safety of persons or
property;
d) Has had the utilities, plumbing, heating, or sewerage permanently
disconnected, destroyed, removed, or rendered ineffective so that the
property is unfit for its intended use.
3) Is the property where the project is proposed considered “Functionally Obsolete”?
Functionally Obsolete is defined by Act 381, as “unable to be used to adequately
perform the function for which it was intended due to a substantial loss in value
resulting from factors such as overcapacity, changes in technology, deficiencies or
super adequacies in design, or other similar factors that affect the property itself or
the property’s relationship with other surrounding property.” The City would be
involved in making this determination through a qualified assessor.

March ‘17
If you answer yes to any of the questions above, the following steps should be taken.
1) Contact the City of Muskegon Planning & Economic Development Department to discuss
your project and discuss the project feasibility (appropriate development, proper zoning,
eligible according to the applicable statute, etc).
2) City staff and/or Brownfield Consultant will work with you to discuss project eligibility and to
evaluate the Brownfield incentives as they may apply to the proposed project (does it make
sense for your company to pursue this incentive, or are other avenues more appropriate?)
3) Once the decision is made to proceed to prepare an amendment to the Brownfield Plan, the
applicant then files an application to the City to be included in the Muskegon Brownfield Plan
(see Fees below). The City staff and/or its Brownfield Consultant, and the applicant will
identify the “eligible activities” that may be eligible for reimbursement through tax increment
financing. Review and approval of eligible activities by the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF)
and/or the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) will be required if school
operating taxes will be captured for certain eligible activities. The applicant must submit a
proposed amendment to the Muskegon Brownfield Plan. After review and discussion with the
City staff, the proposed amendment to the Brownfield Plan will be presented to the Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority for approval, then to the City Commission for a public hearing.
4) If approved by the Muskegon City Commission, the Brownfield Plan will be amended to
include the project.
5) If eligible activities are identified and approved for reimbursement through tax increment
financing, it will be necessary for the developer/business to pay the initial costs for MDEQ
“eligible activities” and/or MSF eligible activities. Public infrastructure improvements may
have alternative financing mechanisms. Act 381 also authorizes bonding; this is entirely
subject to consideration and approval by the City. The financing and reimbursement of
“eligible activities” through the Brownfield Plan amendment will be addressed in a
Development and Reimbursement Agreement between the City and the Developer/Business.
Fees
There is an administrative fee for inclusion in the City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan. These costs
include staff time to review and evaluate the proposed Plan Amendment and Development and
Reimbursement Agreement, coordination between the developer/business, consultants, and city
preparation of and mailing of notices, etc. The fee for inclusion in the Brownfield Plan is
$5,000
Process for Adoption of Brownfield Plan Amendment
I. Potential Brownfield Plan Amendment Applicant contacts the City of Muskegon
Department of Planning and Economic Development regarding the City’s interest in
helping to facilitate the proposed brownfield redevelopment project. If the project is
located in the City of Muskegon, and is a “facility” (as defined in Part 201 of the
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451, Public Acts of Michigan,
1994, as amended), or is “functionally obsolete” or “blighted”, as defined by the
Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, Act 318 of 1996, as amended, and it appears
that the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Master Land Use plan and any
associated plan, the developer/business will coordinate with planning staff and/or the City
Brownfield Consultant.

March ‘17
II. The applicant works with the City of Muskegon staff/ Brownfield Consultant and evaluates
whether inclusion in the Brownfield Plan is appropriate and beneficial to the proposed
development project. If it is, the applicant prepares and submits a Brownfield Plan
Application, (see Fees above). The Plan Amendment is required to be completed by the
applicant and/or their consultant/attorney.
III. The Applicant works with the City Planning & Economic Development Staff/Brownfield
consultant to refine/ modify the Plan Amendment as necessary
IV. The City schedules a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Meeting. The
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority considers a resolution approving the Brownfield
Plan Amendment and, if approved, recommends approval to the City Commission.
V. The Developer/business prepares and submits a Development and Reimbursement
Agreement to the City. This is reviewed and negotiated. When finalized, it is presented to
the BRA for approval and forwarded to the City Commission for approval.
VI. The City Commission adopts a resolution providing notice to taxing jurisdictions and
applicable State Agencies (MDEA and/or MSF) setting a public hearing (the City
Commission meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, agenda items must
be prepared by the Tuesday prior to City Commission meeting).
VII. The City posts a notice of the public hearing. Not less than 10 days prior to the public
hearing. The City sends notice of the public hearing to the legislative body of each taxing
unit levying taxes subject to capture, as well as the MDEQ for plans including eligible
environmental response activities and to the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) for plans
including eligible non-environmental costs, not less than 10 days prior to the public
hearing. The City Commission holds a public hearing on the adoption of the resolution
approving the Brownfield Plan (not less than 10 days after sending notice of the proposed
Brownfield Plan Amendment to the taxing jurisdictions).
VIII. If the City Commission approves the Brownfield Plan Amendment, the
Developer/Business develops an Act 381 work plan for the “eligible activities”. The
Brownfield Authority submits the Act 381 to the appropriate state agency (MDEQ for
eligible environmental response activities, MSF for Demolition, Public Infrastructure
Improvements, Site Preparation, Lead and Asbestos Abatement) for review and approval.
IX. The City of Muskegon will notify the County Assessor of the Plan Amendment.

1.0 Introduction
The City of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority”) was established by the City of
Muskegon (the “City”) pursuant to the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, Michigan Public Act (PA) 381 of
1996, as amended (“Act 381”). The primary purpose of Act 381 is to encourage the redevelopment of eligible
property by providing economic development incentives through tax increment financing for certain eligible
properties.
This Brownfield Plan Amendment (“Plan Amendment”) serves as an amendment to the City of Muskegon’s
existing Brownfield Plan, allowing the inclusion of the eligible property described in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 below.
Incorporation of eligible property into the City’s Brownfield Plan permits the use of tax increment financing to
reimburse 221 W Webster, LLC (“Developer”) for the cost of eligible activities required to redevelop the eligible
property. See Appendix 1 for copies of Plan Amendment resolutions.
1.1 Proposed Redevelopment and Future Use for Each Eligible Property
The Developer is in the process of redeveloping the formerly vacant Huntington Bank building, currently known as
Core Plaza, located at 221 West Webster Avenue and 1040 2nd Street (the “Property”). Since 2021, floor by floor
the building has been fully redeveloped as a multi-suite commercial structure. Once the redevelopment is
completed, the building will consist of 42,888 sq ft of restored commercial spaces. The redevelopment plans
include a restaurant, boutique commercial retail space, and office space. Construction began in 2021 and is
estimated to be completed in 2025/2026. Total investment in the redevelopment is estimated at $10,000,000
and an estimated 45 jobs will be created once the redevelopment is completed. The proposed site plan is
included in Figure 2.
This project serves a public purpose in the City of Muskegon, a Qualified Local Governmental Unit (QLGU),
expanding the tax base, investing significant capital into the community, and creating new jobs. Within walking
distance from both Muskegon Lake and Downtown Muskegon’s Social District, the Core Plaza building will attract
new businesses and companies looking for office/retail space into the heart of downtown Muskegon. There is no
existing hotel or hotel in development on this level of service within the region, so it will draw both community
members and national visitors looking to visit this region and Lake Michigan.

221 West Webster Avenue, Muskegon, Michigan 49440
The property is located in the City of Muskegon, a QLGU pursuant to Act 381.
The Property was historically developed in the 1880s for use as a cemetery and undertaker/mortuary business,
with its most recent use as a banking building. Additionally, the Property was developed in a known area of
historical industrial/construction fill material which is known to contain elevated levels of heavy metals. During
the acquisition of the Property in 2021, the Developer conducted the appropriate environmental due diligence
including a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Phase II ESA, Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA),
and Documentation of Due Care Compliance Report (DDCCR). During the Phase II ESA concentrations of copper,
lead, mercury, and zinc were identified in the soil exceeding Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes,
and Energy (EGLE) Part 201 Generic Residential Cleanup Criteria (GRCC) and lead was identified in the
groundwater at concentrations exceeding the EGLE Part 201 GRCC.
The Developer is not a liable party and completed a BEA in accordance with Part 201 of the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protect Act, 1995 Public Act (PA) 451, as amended (NREPA) during the acquisition of the Property
in 2021.
Given the known soil and groundwater contamination, the Property is a “facility” pursuant to Part 201 of NREPA.
As such, it is considered an “eligible property” as defined by the Michigan Redevelopment Financing Act, Act 381
of 1996.
Maps depicting the location and layout of the Property are attached as Figures 1 and 2. Historic environmental
data tables and associated sample location maps are provided in Appendix 5.
2.0 Information Required by Section 13(2) of the Statute
2.1 Description of Costs to be Paid for with Tax Increment Revenues
This Brownfield Plan Amendment has been developed to reimburse existing and limited future costs incurred by
the Developer since redevelopment began in 2021. Tax increment revenues will be captured for reimbursement
from state school taxes (limited to preapproved activities) and local-only tax increment revenues.
The total cost of eligible activities anticipated to be reimbursed to the Developer is anticipated to be $838,500.
Authority administrative costs are anticipated to be up to $105,018. While all activities are eligible, as defined in
Act 381, the estimated eligible activities and costs under this plan are summarized in Table 1. The capture of tax
increment revenue for the Local Brownfield Revolving Fund (LBRF) is estimated to be up to $306,814.
2.1.1 Pre-Approved Activities
Eligible costs for reimbursement include Pre-Approved Activities, permitted to occur prior to Plan Amendment
adoption. Preparation of Phase I and II ESA(s), BEA, DDCCR, and a pre-demolition asbestos containing materials
(ACM) survey was necessary to protect the Developer from clean up liability for known/existing environmental
contamination. The total cost is anticipated to be $25,500.
Demolition costs, up to $250,000, are preapproved under Act 381 and all remaining demolition costs will be
reimbursed through local-only taxes. Building interior demolition was necessary to redevelop the building. The
total cost is anticipated to be $250,000.
The total Pre-Approved Activities cost is $275,500.
2.1.2 Local Only Activities
Significant demolition and asbestos abatement activities have been necessary to fully redevelop the activities.
Interior/site demolition activities (excluding the pre-approved activities) are anticipated at $400,000. During

interior demolition activities, significant amounts of ACMs were identified in which abatement was necessary.
Asbestos abatement activities are anticipated at $150,000. Total Local Only Activity cost is $550,000
2.1.3 Brownfield Plan/Work Plan Preparation
Preparation of the Brownfield Plan is estimated to cost $8,000 which is split between pre-approved state and
local only eligible activities.
2.1.4 Brownfield Plan/Work Plan Implementation
Implementation of the Brownfield Plan is estimated to cost $5,000.
2.1.5 Authority Administration Cost
Eligible costs incurred by the Authority are included in this plan as an eligible expense at 10% of annual local tax
increment capture per year (after the sunset of the PA 146). These expenses will be reimbursed with local tax
increment revenues only and are estimated to total as much as $105,018.
2.1.6 Local Brownfield Revolving Fund
The Authority intends to capture tax increments for deposits in the LBRF for an estimated five years, or as allowed
by the statute. This capture is estimated to be up to $306,814.
2.2 Summary of Eligible Activities
Environmental Activities
Pre-approved environmental costs and department specific activities are anticipated to be reimbursed through a
Brownfield Plan with state and local tax increment revenues.
Non-Environmental Activities
As the City of Muskegon is a QLGU, additional non-environmental costs defined in Section 2(o)(ii) of Act 381 can
be reimbursed through a Brownfield Plan. While all eligible activities as defined by Act 381 are eligible, this plan is
estimated to provide reimbursement of eligible building/site demolition, asbestos abatement, and development
of the Brownfield Plan costs. These costs will be reimbursed with state taxes (for a portion of the demolition up to
$250,000) and local-only tax increment revenues.
Authority Expenses
Eligible administrative costs incurred by the Authority are included as a flat fee of 10% of local tax capture.
Administration expenses will be reimbursed with local tax increment revenues only.
2.3 Estimate of Captured Taxable Value and Tax Increment Revenues
The base taxable value will be the 2024 combined taxable value, $1,630,486. An estimate of the captured taxable
value for this redevelopment by year is depicted in Table 2. This plan captures all available tax increment
revenues, including real and personal property tax increment revenues.
The Project started construction in 2021 and investment in the Project has occurred every year since. Tax
increment revenue collection will start within five years of the adoption of this plan and is anticipated to begin as
early as 2025.
Future taxable value estimates have been derived using the redevelopment information provided by the
Developer and reviewing market comparables. After the completion of the project, the projected taxable value is
estimated at $2,630,486. In addition to tax increment financing, a PA 146 Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Tax
Abatement was approved for the Project in 2021. The PA 146 was approved to abate the local taxes through 2029
\\CORP.FTCH.COM\ALLPROJECTS\2025\2500384\WORK\REPT\SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTATION\ACT 381_221 WEST WEBSTER LLC BROWNFIELD PLAN.DOCX
March 3, 2025 Fishbeck | Page 4
and a 50% abatement of the state taxes through 2027. Reimbursements will be made on the actual tax increment
that is realized. The estimated captured taxable value for this redevelopment by year and in aggregate for each
taxing jurisdiction is depicted in tabular form (Table 2). Once eligible expenses are reimbursed, the Authority may
capture up to five full years of the tax increment and deposit the revenues into an LBRF or an amount not to
exceed the total cost of eligible activities. The Authority intends to capture tax increments for deposits in the LBRF
for an estimated five years. The plan also includes a flat fee of 10% of the local tax increment for administrative
and operating expenses of the Authority. A summary of the estimated reimbursement schedule and the amount
of capture into the LBRF by year and in aggregate is presented in Table 3.
2.4 Method of Financing and Description of Advances Made by the Municipality
The eligible activities contemplated under this plan will be financed by the Developer, as outlined in this plan and
the accompanying development and reimbursement agreement (Appendix 2). No advances from the City are
anticipated at this time.
2.5 Maximum Amount of Note or Bonded Indebtedness
At this time, there are no plans by the Authority to incur indebtedness to support the development of this site,
but such plans could be made in the future to assist in the development if the Authority so chooses.
2.6 Duration of Brownfield Plan
The Authority intends to begin the capture of tax increment as early as 2025. This plan will then remain in place
for 24 years, or until the eligible activities have been fully reimbursed and up to five full years of capture into the
LBRF (not to exceed the cost of eligible activities or 30 years), whichever occurs sooner. An analysis showing the
reimbursement schedule is attached in Table 3.
2.7 Estimated Impact of Tax Increment Financing on Revenues of Taxing
Jurisdictions
An estimate of the impact of tax increment financing on the revenues of all taxing jurisdictions is illustrated in
detail in Table 2.
2.8 Legal Description, Property Map, Statement of Qualifying Characteristics,
