Chobani Expansion and RAA 4-3 Plan Amendment
The urban renewal agency is extending Revenue Allocation Area 4-3 to fund roughly $75 million in public improvements — a new electrical substation, road widening on 3300 East, and water and sewer capacity — to support Chobani's $500 million expansion. Chobani is on the hook if tax revenues fall short of bond payments.
Opportunity Zone 2.0 nomination for downtown
Staff will ask the City Council to bless an application asking the Governor to nominate downtown Census Tract 16083001100 as a permanent federal Opportunity Zone, offering tax breaks that attract long-term investment. The tract overlaps the Old Towne-2 urban renewal area, layering incentives.
