SUBJECT: Resolution approving Amendment to Development Agreement with
MMC Properties, LLC for the new industrial building on Geraldine Road —
changing the timeframe to begin construction from earlier this spring to this fall
and completion within 6 months, and authorize Mayor to sign and fully execute
the document.
Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director
Recommended City Council Action: Approval of resolution as noted above
Summary Statement: As you may recall, back in March of 2104 the City of
Waterloo approved a Development Agreement with MMC Properties, LLC for the
construction of a new 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse on Geraldine Road. This new
warehouse would be for Version Wireless warehouse space and would have a
new total value of $352,000 for the City of Waterloo.
All other portions of the Development Agreement would remain the same.
Expenditure Required: NA
Source of Funds: NA
Policy Issue: Economic Development
Alternative: NA
Background Information: As you may recall, the City of Waterloo recently
worked with State RISE funds for the construction of Geraldine Road on the
south side of Airline Highway for the creation of more industrial lots. The City
has seen one 40,000 sq. ft. spec building built, has an agreement for another
40,000 spec building to start soon, has helped Koelker Excavating build a new
10,400 sq. ft. building on a lot, and is now recommending for the approval of this
Development Agreement for another 10,000 sq. ft. building to be built in
SouthPort. This new building would be the fifth project in this area (2 spec
40,000 sq. ft. buildings, Koelker, and La Forge) and bring forth new industrial
development and jobs to the area.
The use of RISE funds is a great way for the City to provide new lot creation, and
is matched with local option sale tax funding — utilizing those funds for not only
for road construction, but economic development through road construction as
well. The two stages of RISE funding for this area has now provided over $4.9
million in new taxable value to this area, as well as construction jobs, new
employees, new energy, new excitement to the area.
