Statunarv
Port Au ority staff are requesting Chargo Printing's application for En-
terprise Zone credits be increased from $375,000 to $490,000.
Back ou
An appli tion froan Chargo Printing was approved tyy the Riverfront Develognent
Task For on July 10, 1990. Since that time, Chargo Printing's project has
expanded 'n several ways. The cam�ny is buying a larger site (2.2 acres ver-
sus 1.9 cres), the building size has increased from 21,000 to 24,000 square
feet, an it is buying more equignent, which will lead to additional jobs.
�e earl'er application mentioned ten new jobs, and the amended apglication
identif i s twenty new jobs in the first two years. The comgany currently
employs 3 people.
Due to e fixm's larger project, Port Authority staff are recoatunending the
increase in IIzterprise Zone credits. As the Riverfront Cc�anission and Task
Fbrce may be aware, the Enterprise Zone prograan has been discontinued by the
state and will terminate at the end of October, 1990. Before approving addi-
tional cr � its for Chargo, staff have closely reviewed other potential En-
terprise one applicants and have reserved sufficient credits for these other
co�npanies

C. Pit�0.7 INCREASID MARRET VALUE
The mark t value will increase by the amount of the improve�nents plus the land
value s'nve the property has not generated ariy taxes while under Port
Authorit awnership. The develognent will result in an estimated market value
of $1.1 illion which is .00014 of the market value of all taxable property in
St. Paul The project is within the City of Saint Paul Housing and Redevelop-
ment Au ority's Scattered Site Tax Increment District. This project will
have a sitive impact on the District's revenues.
D. RE7� AND NII�1 JOBS
The com has 30 full-time enployees who will be retained in Saint Paul with
the oons ruction of the new facility. In addition, the cangam estimates they

benef its:

Z'his re esents a private-to-public ratio of approximately $5.00 private per
$1 publi tax reduction or credit. The original City Council guidelines call
for a mi 'm�nn 8:1 private-to-public investment ratio and a maximun of $10,000
per retai ed job and $20,000 per new job. This project represents a credit of
12:1 for ivate-to-public investment, plus $4,000 per retained job and $8,000
per new j b.
F. FII�IDINGS
Chargo Pr'nting, Inc.'s application proposes to create up to 26 new jobs, none
of which would be a transfer fran another Minnesota municipality. The
proposal will not result in the abandorment or d�molition of other property
awned by the applica�t in Saint Paul, whicli could potentially cause a reduc-
tion in e assessed value of existing property within the City. The sgace
Chargo Printing is currently leasing will be used by the building's owner as
that avne 's manufacturing facility exparids as well.
