“This 435 mil in investment is more than the town saw from all commercial and industrial projects in 2024”  — Deb Cook, Brownsburg Town Manager, Oct. 16th EDC Meeting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Incentives with a difference:
\n<\/strong>In the first of its kind for Brownsburg, a portion of TIF monies will be used to pay a a nearly a $81 mil bond purchased in by the company. The maximum term is 25 years and the maximum rate is 7%. This was done at the request of the company in lieu of a property tax abatement. These monies will be separate and apart from the town\u2019s normal tax rolls. All risk is held by the borrower in this case the company.<\/p>\n

The monies will be used for construction of the administrative and productions areas of the building, including equipment and related improvements.  In the unlikely event the borrower defaults, all TIF monies will be retained by the town. The terms of this agreement were unanimously passed by the Economic Development Commission on Oct 16th.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The bond will be purchased by the developer or the company, the town will not be purchasing this bond, we are not on the hook for the payments, nor will we have to pay for any shortfalls.  The debt service will be paid for by 75% of the TIF revenues generated by this project”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 “The town will collect the other 25% of TIF to be used for strategic projects”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The developer purchased bonds do not interact or impact the tax rate in anyway”<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The developer assumes all risk with this structure”<\/p>\n

— All quotes taken from Deb Cook Brownsburg Town Manager Oct. 16th EDC Meeting. <\/p>\n

In addition, the Town of Brownsburg is offering a personal property tax abatement on an estimated $95 million dollars investment, a flat 80% reduction each year for 10 years.<\/p>\n
