This is the first step in creating a redevelopment area, where tax increment financing (TIF) can be used for improvements and new development.
Michael Bacon, an attorney who specializes in TIF financing, will be present to discuss this subject with the board.
The board will consider a resolution to declare the West Petersburg Development Area as blighted/substandard. This area covers all but a small portion of the village west of Highway 14, as well as a portion of the area east of Highway 14 to First Street and several lots on the north side of Rae Street.

GSS-Albion Administrator Kerry Davidson points out the location where the new wing will join the present south wing.
Campaign leaders report they are nearly halfway to the goal of raising $750,000 in local contributions for a gift challenge that will help bring the project to reality.
The campaign was started at the beginning of this year by Good Samaritan Society-Albion (GSS-Albion). The campaign goal is $2.25 million.
GSS-Albion first raised $750,000 for the campaign. Then, a campaign supporter, who has chosen to remain anonymous, offered a $750,000 challenge match gift. This means all current or pledged gifts received through Dec. 31, 2010, will be matched dollar for dollar up to that amount - doubling the impact of each gift.
To date, $357,061 has been given toward the matched gift. To take full advantage of the match, an additional $392,939 is needed before the end of December.
