Sources and Uses – Phase 1A

IRR Analysis

  • 13% annual internal rate of return on a City investment of roughly $8MM to fun development costs
  • This analysis assumes an upfront land payment of $185,000 that would go to the City. It assumes 60% of cash flow goes to pay soft debt and that the City would get roughly 40% of that (equates to a 25% share of cash flow)
  • The back end of the deal (after paying off outstanding debt) is split 50/50 between the city and the owners
  • This deal will drive private investment into for-sale single family homes to 2-5 homes a year for the next 30 years
  • The value of this investment is also in the access to large federal funding sources set aside by the Department of Transportation and other federal infrastructure and housing dollars that this initial investment will make much more likely (not included in analysis – but would increase the city’s return many times over)

Economic Impact

• Increase in market rents and property values
• Proximity to lake generates increased boating, fishing from community
• Cap increase in property taxes for seniors in area
