FOREWORD
The Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"), and the
City of Cottage Grove (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the
following information to expedite the Establishment of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) (the "District"), an
economic development tax increment financing district, located in
Development District No. 1.
STATUTORY AUTHORITY
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to
cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City
have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."),
Sections 469.090 - 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections
469.174 to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing
Act" or "TIF Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the
District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the
Development Program for Development District No. 1.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The District currently consists of six (6) parcels of land and adjacent roads
and internal rights-of-way. The District is being created to facilitate
construction of approximately 3.44 million square feet of
manufacturing/distribution facilities in the City. The EDA anticipates entering
into an agreement with NP CG Logistics, LLC and development is likely to
occur in the spring of 2022. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the
objectives outlined in the Development Program for Development District No.
1.
The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Development Program
and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified
development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to
occur over the life of Development District No. 1 and the District.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 3
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Pursuant to the Development Program and authorizing state statutes, the
EDA or City is authorized to undertake the following activities in the District:
1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the
District may be acquired by the EDA or City and is further
described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law,
are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state
and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and
completion of the necessary legal requirements, the EDA or City
may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire
within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary
acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required
utilities and public street work within the District.
5. The City proposes both public and private infrastructure within
the District. The proposed reuse of private property within the
District will be for a manufacturing / distribution facilities, and
there will be continued operation of Development District No. 1
after the capital improvements within Development District No. 1
have been completed.

Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 4
Please also see the map in Appendix A for further information on the location
of the District.
The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior
and adjacent street rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition
will be acquired by the EDA or City only in order to accomplish one or more
of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for needed public
streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements,
clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set
forth in this plan. The EDA or City may acquire property by gift, dedication,
condemnation or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the
objectives of this TIF Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken only when
there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs.
DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION
The EDA or City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing
district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended,
inclusive, finds that the District, to be established, is an economic
development district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 12.
The District is in the public interest because it will meet the statutory
requirement of discouraging commerce, industry, or manufacturing from
moving their operations to another state or municipality; resulting in
increased employment in the State; and resulting in preservation and
enhancement of the tax base of the State.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4c, revenue derived from tax
increment from an economic development district may not be used to
provide improvements, loans, subsidies, grants, interest rate subsidies, or
assistance in any form to developments consisting of buildings and ancillary
facilities, if more than 15 percent of the buildings and facilities (determined on
the basis of square footage) are used for a purpose other than:
(1) The manufacturing or production of tangible personal property,
including processing resulting in the change in condition of the
property;
(2) Warehousing, storage, and distribution of tangible personal
property, excluding retail sales;
(3) Research and development related to the activities listed in items (1)
or (2);
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 5
(4) Telemarketing if that activity is the exclusive use of the property;
(5) Tourism facilities;
(6) Space necessary for and related to the activities listed in items (1) to
(5); or
(7) A workforce housing project that satisfies the requirements of M.S.,
Section 469.176, Subd. 4c(d).
In meeting the statutory criteria the City relies on the following facts and
findings: The facilities in the District meet the conditions of Purposes 1, 2, 3
and 6.
Pursuant to M.S. 469.176, Subd. 7(a), the EDA and City may request inclusion
in the District and the County Auditor may certify the original tax capacity of
a parcel or a part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S 273.111
or 273.112 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years
before filing of the request for certification only for:
(1) a district in which 85 percent or more of the planned buildings and
facilities (determined on the basis of square footage) are a qualified
manufacturing facility or a qualified distribution facility or a
combination of both; or
(2) a housing district.
A distribution facility means buildings and other improvements to real
property that are used to conduct activities in at least each of the following
categories:
(i) to store or warehouse tangible personal property;
(ii) to take orders for shipments, mailing, or delivery;
(iii) to prepare personal property for shipment, mailing, or delivery; and
(iv) to ship, mail, or deliver property.
A manufacturing facility includes space used for manufacturing or producing
tangible personal property, including processing resulting in the change of
condition of the property, and space necessary for and related to the
manufacturing activities.
To be a qualified facility, the owner or operator of a manufacturing facility
must agree to pay and pay 90 percent or more of the employees of the
facility at a rate equal to or greater than 160 percent of the federal minimum
wage for individuals over the age of 20.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 6
The District does contain three (3) parcels that qualified under the provisions
of § 273.111 or 273.112 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five
calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District
(parcels are noted in the cashflow in Appendix B). The facilities to be assisted
by the District are manufacturing and distribution facilities and the developer
has agreed to pay and pay 90 percent or more of the employees of the
facility at a rate equal to or greater than 160 percent of the federal minimum
wage for individuals over the age of 20.
DURATION & FIRST YEAR OF DISTRICT’S TAX INCREMENT
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1,
the duration of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to
M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the District will be 8 years
after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City. The date of receipt by
the City of the first tax increment is expected to be 2024.
Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF
Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2032, or
when the TIF Plan is satisfied. If increment is received in 2023, the term of the
District will be 2031. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the
District prior to the legally required date.
ORIGINAL TAX CAPACITY, TAX RATE & ESTIMATED CAPTURED
NET TAX CAPACITY VALUE/INCREMENT & NOTIFICATION OF
PRIOR PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1,
the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based
on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2021 for taxes
payable 2022.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall
certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2024) the amount by
which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 7
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District
declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will
be payable to the EDA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes
payable 2022, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30,
2022. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear in the
table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2,
and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within
Development District No. 1, upon completion of the projects within the
District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the
table below. The EDA and City request 100 percent of the available increase
in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current expenditures,
beginning in the tax year payable 2024. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed
is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.
Project estimated Tax Capacity upon completion 4,790,194
Original estimated Net Tax Capacity 54,039
Fiscal Disparities 1,578,717
Estimated Captured Tax Capacity 3,157,438
Original Local Tax Rate 103.3026%

Project Tax Capacity
Note: Tax capacity includes a 3.00% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax
capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 9. The tax
capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $775,275.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and
diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor
or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175,
Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of
enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen
(18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the
municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor
shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax
capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 8
The EDA and City have reviewed the area to be included in the District and
found no parcels for which building permits have been issued during the 18
months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City.
SOURCES OF REVENUE/BONDS TO BE ISSUED
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the
table below:
SOURCES
Tax Increment 21,270,134$
Interest 2,127,013
TOTAL 23,397,147$
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the
annual collection of tax increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to
incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently
proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by bonds, pay-as-
you-go notes and interfund loans. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a
budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provision does not
obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or
incur other debt only upon the determination that such action is in the best
interest of the City.
The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole
or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal
amount of $18,699,020. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go
notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans.
This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of
authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.
USES OF FUNDS
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate
construction of approximately 3.44 million square feet of
manufacturing/distribution facilities. The EDA and City have determined that
it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s) for certain District
costs, as described.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 9
The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of
property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and
development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use
of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses.
The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is
outlined in the following table.
USES
Land/Building Acquisition 100,000$
Site Improvements/Preparation 10,000,000
Utilities 3,000,000
Other Qualifying Improvements 3,472,007
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)2,127,013
PROJECT COSTS TOTAL 18,699,020$
Interest 4,698,127
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL 23,397,147$
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table
above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as
shown in the Sources of Revenue section.
Estimated capital and administrative costs listed above are subject to change
among categories by modification of the TIF Plan without hearings and
notices as required for approval of the initial TIF Plan, so long as the total
capital and administrative costs combined do not exceed the total listed
above. Further, the EDA or City may spend up to 20 percent of the tax
increments from the District for activities (described in the table above)
located outside the boundaries of the District but within the boundaries of the
Project (including administrative costs, which are considered to be spend
outside the District), subject to all other terms and conditions of this TIF Plan.
FISCAL DISPARITIES ELECTION
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of
two methods to calculate fiscal disparities.
The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b (inside).
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 10
ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the
redevelopment contemplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the
creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment
financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is
$0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but
for" test was not met:

Impact on Tax Rates
The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all
construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2021
rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay
2021 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2022 rates, which
were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount
of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is
$21,270,134;
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) 11
(2) The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected
to be significant. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any,
and are of superior construction. The City does not expect that the
proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital
investment in vehicles or facilities.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be
significant. The Developer is required to pay for and install all new
required public roadways, accesses, traffic signals and turn lanes in
addition to extend and sanitary sewer or water lines to service the
development.
The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment
bonds on the ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is
expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any
general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore
there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on
the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district
levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life
of the District that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all
taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $7,038,013;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is
estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the
District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the
county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $5,648,979;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The
City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school
district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on
county or school district services. The county or school district must
request additional information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd.
2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school
district regarding the proposed development for the District have
been received.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must
contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make
the determination set forth in M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and
the findings are required in the resolution approving the District.
(i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1)
written representation made by the developer to such effects, (2)
review of the developer’s proforma; and (3) City staff awareness of
the feasibility of developing the project site within the District, which
is further outlined in the City Council resolution approving the
establishment of the TIF District and Appendix C.
(ii) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and
without establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax
increments has been performed. Such analysis is included with the
cashflow in Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated
market value of the proposed development (less the indicated
subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent
the establishment of the TIF District and the use of tax increments.
DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION
Administration of the District will be handled by the Community Development
Director.

Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) C-1
Appendix C: Findings Including But/For Qualifications
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20
(Northpoint Industrial) as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3
are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint
Industrial) is an economic development district as defined in M.S., Section
469.174, Subd. 12.
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) is a
contiguous geographic area within the City's Development District No. 1,
delineated in the TIF Plan, for the purpose of financing economic
development in the City through the use of tax increment. The District is
in the public interest because it will facilitate construction of
approximately 3.44 million square feet of manufacturing/distribution
facilities. in the City which will increase employment in the State and
preserve and enhance the tax base of the state.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council,
would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur
without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development
after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20
(Northpoint Industrial) permitted by the TIF Plan.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within
the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact
that the development proposed in this plan are manufacturing and
distribution facilities that meets the City's objectives for economic
development and land use designation within the City’s Comprehensive
Plan. The cost of land acquisition and required street and utility
improvements necessary to maximize development potential, makes
development of the facilities infeasible without City assistance. The
developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as
justification that the developer would not have gone forward without tax
increment assistance.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) C-2
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the
increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed
development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax
increments for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the
TIF Plan: The City supported this finding on the grounds that the project
includes manufacturing/distribution facilities and the costs of land
acquisition and required street and utility improvements necessary to
maximize development potential, makes development of the facilities
infeasible without City assistance. The City reasonably determines that no
other development of similar scope is anticipated on this site without
substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
Therefore, the City concludes as follows:
a. The City's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the
entire District will increase without the use of tax increment financing
is $0.
b. If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value
will be $203,509,050 (see Appendix B of the TIF Plan)
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum
duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be
$16,107,981 (see Appendix B of the TIF Plan).
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development
were to occur, the Council finds that no alternative would occur that
would produce a market value increase greater $187,401,069 (the
amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment
assistance.
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20
(Northpoint Industrial) conforms to the general plan for the development
or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The City Council reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan
conforms to the general development plan of the City.
4. Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development of Development District No. 1 by private enterprise.
Cottage Grove Economic Development Authority
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-20 (Northpoint Industrial) C-3
The project to be assisted by the District will result in increased
employment in the City and the State of Minnesota, increased tax base of
the State, and add high-quality development to the City.
