Since the 1980 closing of Stem Hall, the Civic Center theater building Saint Paul has been without a downtown facility for the performing arts and, lacking adequate public resources to replace Stem Hall has sought the assistance of the United Arts Fund and of Ordway Music Theatre, a Minnesota non-profit corporation formed for this purpose. B. Ordway Music Theatre (Ordway) desires to induce a group of private investors to form a limited partnership (Developer) to undertake the acquisition and construction of a performing arts theatre and related parking facilities on the site of Stem Hall and adjacent private property. C. Ordway has represented that such undertaking is not feasible unless certain public redevelopment costs to be incurred are financed or paid for from tax increments to be generated by the theater development and accordingly has re�- quested that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota (HRA) undertake a redevelopment project pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462 and form a tax increment district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 273. 71 to 273. 86 (collectively referred to as the Act) .

E. In order to assure that the theater development can be undertaken in a timely manner if the Redevelopment Project and Tax Increment District Plans are approved pursuant to the Act, Ordway has agreed to acquire right of immediate entry to the Stem Hall property for the purpose of demolishing the building at its expense and without recourse against the City in the event the Project and Plans are not approved and to acquire title to said property for a price equal to the cost of said demolition in the event the Project and Plans are approved pursuant to the Act and a contract for sale and purchase of land and for development of the theater facilities is concluded between City, HRA and Ordway. F. The Civic Center Authority, pursuant to Section 4 , Article 25, Chapter 523, Laws of Minnesota 1982, has given its approval to demolition of Stem Hall and to the prospec- tive sale of this property for private development of a performing arts theater.
