The Bloomington City Council is scheduled to consider financial assistance and initial steps toward creating a Tax Increment Financing district for the 53-acre Eastland Mall property on October 26. Eastland Mall Redevelopers, LLC, which is owned by Cullinan Properties, is contracted to purchase the site for $11.3 million, with a potential closing in November.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The city council will consider a resolution supporting the TIF district and authorizing PGAV Planners, LLC to conduct a feasibility study. Additionally, the council will consider providing an 80% loan guarantee on the purchase price for up to 12 months, which would assist the developer in securing financing through Bank of Springf.
