Economic Development Priorities. The immediate priority of the District is to determine the appropriate infrastructure necessary to support development within the District. In November 2021, the District contracted The Kleingers Group, a civil engineering, survey, and landscape architecture firm headquartered in West Xxxxxxx, Ohio, to develop a master plan for the XXXX area and other development sites near the District, depicted in Schedule A of this Economic Development Plan (the “Master Plan”). The Master Plan contemplates multiple scenarios where the District could proceed with developing the XXXX area by first starting with a single parcel within the XXXX area before proceeding to develop other parcels. The Master Plan identifies the infrastructure that would be necessary to serve each site, while also priming the rest of the XXXX area for optimal development. The District acknowledges that the Master Plan depicts options for development within the District, and that the District may pursue other opportunities that would enhance economic endeavors and bring new jobs to the District as they may arise, provided that such other opportunities shall be generally consistent with the nature and type of capital improvements described herein.
Economic Development Priorities. To support the best educational opportunities and experiences in the School District • Encourage development that will create and retain jobs throughout the XXXX • Encourage development in the XXXX that will provide support services to the School District and surrounding communities • Increase the tax base through the attraction of more commercial investment To encourage economic development throughout the XXXX, each participating jurisdiction must continue to provide necessary infrastructure and community services. Maintenance of and improvements to infrastructure are required for the upkeep of existing systems, while planning for the future requires supporting the development of long-term infrastructure plans and community service needs. The proposed services, facilities and improvements set forth in the attached Schedule A and the tax revenues described in the attached Schedule B (and the expenditure thereof) will have a direct benefit to the businesses within the XXXX boundaries. The Contracting Parties support the construction of a comprehensive consolidated Valley View School District campus in German Township and related development. The XXXX will work with the county, the state and the Contracting Parties to facilitate the provision of the following new, expanded, and additional services, facilities, and improvements: Capital improvements and long-term maintenance of roadways, sidewalks, intersections, signage and other public infrastructure within and adjacent to the XXXX boundaries; Capital improvements and long-term maintenance of water systems and other public utility infrastructure within and adjacent to the XXXX boundaries; Emergency and safety services to respond to the needs of the increased number of students and staff located at a single site; Traffic management systems and services to allow for efficient and safe flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to and from and within the XXXX; and Encouragement of economic development, job creation, and commercial development to create and retain jobs. The XXXX expects this Economic Development Plan to be integrated into and complementary to the economic development planning for the entire area of the Contracting Parties, and is expected to provide the stimulus for the economic enhancement of German Township and to maintain and create jobs and economic opportunities for the residents of the Contracting Parties.
