Mr. Taves explained that this meeting will fulfill the annual meeting obligation
of the Joint Review Board and also consider amending TID #3 boundaries.
Badger Paperboard is planning to expand their facility at 760 Tower Dr into
the adjoining vacant lot. They intend to combine the two parcels via CSM. Part

Mr. Taves reviewed cost-flow projections, debt, and project costs. He
highlighted the Village will be about $900,000 under budget by the closure of
the district but cautioned that costs may still be incurred. Administrator
Jenkins shared the status of each parcel, including PILT payments made by
delinquent developers, the potential sale of two lots that haven’t been
developed, completion of the Gasiorowski business condos, Nine Ladies Dance
Studio, and Paulsen Mechanical, and he hinted at a potential buyer for the
largest remaining lot. The Village Board will be considering an offer to
purchase at their upcoming meeting.

SECTION 1:
Executive Summary
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Tax Incremental District (“TID”) No. 3 (“District”) was created on July 15, 2021,
to pay the costs of land acquisition, installation of public improvements and
other costs necessary to promote industrial development in an expansion of
the Fredonia Industrial Park. Since creation, the Village has sold all but 15.91
acres of land within the park, and development through January 1, 2026, has
generated $ 9,040,700 in new incremental value. A dance studio, and new
facilities for Paulsen Mechanical are under construction with completion
expected in 2026. Additional construction expected to commence later this
year or in 2027 includes an expansion of Meadowlark Storage. In 2026, Badger
Paperboard, a custom paperboard converter specializing in packaging and
shipping materials, announced plans to expand its manufacturing operations
with an $8 million to $10 million addition that will add about 47,000 square feet
to its existing facility at 760 Tower Drive . As part of the expansion plan, the
company will combine two parcels, one of which is in the District, and one which
is out of the District. Since a tax incremental district can only include whole tax
parcels, the Village must amend the District’s boundaries to include the parcel
currently located outside the District.
PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT
The purpose of this amendment, referred to hereafter as the Plan, the
Amendment, or the Plan Amendment, is to add territory to the District as
permitted under Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(h)2. This is the first of four permitted
territory amendments available to the District.
ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST EXPENDITURES
This Amendment does not modify Project Costs. The original Plan projected
total costs of $8. 61 million including an estimated $1.09 million for land
acquisition and related expense, $4.6 1M for public infrastructure and related
engineering, $2.87M for interest on long -term debt and financing related
expense, and $ 53,000 for District administration and other miscellaneous
expense. Based on costs incurred to date, and future projections, total Project
Costs are anticipated to be approximately $7.73 million.
Tax Incremental District No. 3 Project Plan Amendment, Village of Fredonia
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 4
INCREMENTAL VALUATION
Based on the estimates for value of projects underway or planned on sold lots,
and assumed development on the remaining 15.91-acre lot, the Village expects
the District will add another $17.1 million in incremental value for a total buildout
of $26.1 million. Creation of this additional value will be made possible by the
Project Costs made within the District. A table detailing assumptions as to the
development timing and associated values is included in the Economic
Feasibility Study located within this Plan.
EXPECTED TERMINATION OF DISTRICT
Based on the Economic Feasibility Study located within Section 9 of this Plan,
the Village anticipates that the District will generate sufficient tax increment to
pay all Project Costs within its allowable 20 years.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
As required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105, and as documented in this Plan and the
exhibits contained and referenced herein, the following findings are made:
1. That “but for” the creation of this District, the development projected to
occur as detailed in this Plan: 1) would not occur; or 2) would not occur in
the manner, at the values, or within the timeframe desired by the Village. At
the time the District was created, the Village, and the Joint Review Board,
found that absent the use of tax incremental financing, the Village would be
unable to make the substantial investment needed to acquire land and to
provide the public infrastructure necessary to expand the industrial park.
This remains the case, and the Amendment will ensure that development
occurring in the park contributes to the repayment of those costs.
2. The economic benefits of the District , as measured by increased
employment, business and personal income, and property value, are
sufficient to compensate for the cost of the improvements. In making this
determination the Village has considered that the Project will result in
creation and retention of manufacturing and other jobs, income and sales
taxes, and benefits to the local economy resulting from the purchase of
goods and services rela ted to construction, expansion and operation of
businesses in the District.
3. The benefits of the proposal outweigh the anticipated tax increments to be
paid by the owners of property in the overlying taxing jurisdictions. As
required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(i)4., a calculation of the s hare of
projected tax increments estimated to be paid by the owners of property in
the overlying taxing jurisdictions has been prepared and can be found in this
Plan. However, because the Project would not occur without the use of tax
Tax Incremental District No. 3 Project Plan Amendment, Village of Fredonia
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 5
incremental financing, these tax increments would not be paid but for
creation of the District. Accordingly, the Village finds that the benefits
expected to be realized as set forth in this Plan outweigh the value of the
tax increments to be invested in the Project.
4. Not less than 50% by area of the real property within the District, as
amended, is suitable for industrial sites as defined by Wis. Stat. § 66.1101 and
has been zoned for industrial use. Any real property within the District that
was found suitable for industrial sites and was zoned for industrial use at the
time of creation of the District or at the time of this Plan Amendment will
remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the District.
5. Based on the foregoing finding, the District remains designated as an
industrial district.
6. That Project Costs relate directly to promoting industrial development in the
District, consistent with the purpose for which the District is created.
7. Improvements to be made in the District are likely to significantly enhance
the value of substantially all of the other real property in the District.
8. The equalized value of taxable property within the territory to be added to
the District, plus the incremental value of all existing tax incremental districts
within the Village does not exceed 12% of the total equalized value of taxable
property within the Village.
9. The Plan for the District is feasible and is in conformity with the Master Plan
of the Village.
10. The Village estimates that none of the territory within the District will be
devoted to retail business at the end of the District’s maximum expenditure
period, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(5)(b).
11. That there are no parcels to be included within the District through this
Amendment that were annexed by the Village within the preceding three -
year period.

SECTION 5:
Equalized Value Test
The following calculations demonstrate that the Village expects to be in
compliance with Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.c., which requires that the
equalized value of the taxable property proposed to be added to the District,
plus the value increment of all existing tax incremental districts, does not
exceed 12% of the total equalized value of taxable property within the Village.
Calculation of Village Equalized Value Limit
Village TID IN Equalized Value (Jan. 1, 2026) $ 338,180,900
TID Valuation Limit @ 12% of Above Value $ 40,581,708
Calculation of Value Subject to Limit
Estimated Base Value of Added Territory $ 2,386,100
Incremental Value of Existing District (Jan. 1, 2026) $ 9,040,700
Total Value Subject to 12% Valuation Limit $ 11,426,800
The equalized value of the increment of the District, plus the value of the
territory proposed to be added to the District, totals $ 11,426,800. This value is
less than the maximum of $ 40,581,708 in equalized value that is permitted for
the Village.

SECTION 6:
Statement Listing the Kind, Number and Location of All
Proposed Public Works or Improvements Within the
District
Project Costs are any expenditure made, estimated to be made, or monetary
obligations incurred or estimated to be incurred as outlined in this Plan. Project
Costs will be diminished by any income, special assessments or other revenues,
including user fees or charges, other than tax increments, received or
reasonably expected to be received in connection with the implementation of
the Plan. If Project Costs incurred benefit territory outside the District, a
proportionate share of the cost is not a Project Cost. Costs identified in this
Plan are preliminary estimates made prior to design considerations and are
subject to change after planning, design and construction is completed.
With all Project Costs, the costs of engineering, design, survey, inspection,
materials, construction, restoring property to its original condition, apparatus
necessary for public works, legal and other consultant fees, testing,
environmental studies, permits, updating ordinances and plans, judgments or
claims for damages and other expenses are included as Project Costs. The map
found in Section 7 of this Plan along with the Detailed List of Project Costs
found in Section 8 provide additional information as to the kind, number and
location of potential Project Costs.
The “Statement of Kind, Number and Location of Proposed Public Works and
Other Projects” set forth in the original District Project Plan approved on July
15, 2021, remains unchanged, and is restated in this Section for reference.

SECTION 8:
Detailed List of Estimated Project Costs
The following list identifies the Project Costs that the Village has made, expects to make, or may need to make
in conjunction with the implementation of the District’s Plan or this Plan Amendment. All projects identified
and related costs reflect the best estimates available as of the date of preparation of this Plan Amendment.
All costs are preliminary estimates and may increase or decrease. Certain Project Costs listed may become
unnecessary, and other Project Costs not currently identified may need to be made. (Section 6 details the
general categories of eligible Project Costs). Changes in Project Cost totals or the types of Project Costs to
be incurred will not require that this Plan be amended. T his Plan is not meant to be a budget nor an
appropriation of funds for specific Project Costs, but a framework within which to manage Project Costs.

SECTION 9:
Economic Feasibility Study, Description of the Methods
of Financing Estimated Project Costs and the Time When
Related Costs or Monetary Obligations are to be Incurred
This Section includes an updated forecast of the valuation increases expected
within the District, the associated tax increment collections, a summary of how
remaining Project Costs woul d be financed, and a projected cash flow
demonstrating that the District remains economically feasible.
Key Assumptions
The Project Costs the Village has made are expected to create $26.1 million in
incremental value by January 1, 2032. Table 1 includes actual District valuations
through January 1, 2026 and a projection of additional value to be added.
Assuming the Village’s current equalized TID Interim tax rate of $ 13.31 per
thousand of equalized value, and no economic appreciation or depreciation,
the Project would generate $5,465,254 in incremental tax revenue over the 20-
year term of the District as shown in
Table 2.

Financing and Implementation
Land purchase and installation of public improvements were financed with a
State Trust Fund Loan and proceeds of a 2024 General Obligation Bond issue.
At the end of 2025, $4.93 million in debt principal was outstanding. With public
improvements completed in 2025, the Village expects that remaining project
costs will be limited to repayment of debt, and annual administrative expense.
Should additional improvements or other costs become necessary prior to the
end of District’s expenditure period in 2036, the Village would likely cash fund
those costs. Based on the Project Cost expenditures as included within the cash
flow exhibit (Table 3), the District is projected to accumulate sufficient funds
by the end of its maximum life to pay off all Project cost liabilities and
obligations. The projected closure is based on the various assumptions noted
in this Plan and will vary dependent on actual Project Costs incurred and the
actual amount of tax increments collected.

Incremental District No. 3 Project Plan Amendment, Village of Fredonia
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 26
SECTION 10:
Annexed Property
A tax incremental district cannot include annexed territory unless at least three
years have elapsed since the annexation, or certain other requirements are met.
The parcel added to the District by this Amendment was not annexed within
the past three years. Other property within the original District boundary was
annexed within the three years preceding the original District creation, and the
Village has paid the Town of Fredonia an amount equal to the property taxes
levied on the territory by the town at the time of the annexation for a period of
five-years. Such payments allow ed for inclusion of the annexed lands as a
permitted exception under Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)1.
SECTION 11:
Estimate of Property to be Devoted to Retail Business
Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(5)(b), the Village estimates that none of the
territory within the District will be devoted to retail business at the end of the
District’s maximum expenditure period.
SECTION 12:
Proposed Changes of Zoning Ordinances, Master Plan,
Map, Building Codes and Village Ordinances
Zoning Ordinances
The proposed Plan Amendment is in general conformance with the Village’s
current zoning ordinances. Individual properties may require rezoning at the
time of development. Land within the District zoned industrial at the time of
District creation will remain in a zoning classification suitable for industrial sites
for the life of the District.
Master (Comprehensive) Plan and Map
The proposed Plan Amendment is in general conformance with the Village’s
Comprehensive Plan identifying the area as appropriate for industrial
development.
Tax Incremental District No. 3 Project Plan Amendment, Village of Fredonia
Prepared by Ehlers Page | 27
Building Codes and Ordinances
Development within the District will be required to conform to State Building
Codes and will be subject to the Village's permitting and inspection procedures.
The proposed Plan Amendment conforms to all relevant State and local
ordinances, plans, and codes. No changes to the existing regulations are
proposed or needed.
SECTION 13:
Statement of the Proposed Method for the Relocation of
any Persons to be Displaced
Should the continued implementation of this Plan require relocation of
individuals or business operations, relocations will be handled in compliance
with Wis. Stat. Chapter 32 and Wis. Admin. Code ADM 92.
SECTION 14:
How Amendment of the Tax Incremental District
Promotes the Orderly Development of the Village
Amendment of the District and the implementation of the projects in its Plan
promotes the orderly development of the Village by creating new industrial
sites, providing necessary public infrastructure improvements, and providing
appropriate financial incentives for private development projects. Through use
of tax increment financing, the V illage can attract new investment that results
in increased tax base. Development will occur in an orderly fashion in
accordance with approved plans so that the Projects will be compatible with
adjacent land uses. Development of new uses in the District will add to the tax

SECTION 15:
List of Estimated Non-Project Costs
Non-project costs are public works projects which only partly benefit the
District. Costs incurred that do not benefit the District may not be paid with tax
increments. Examples of non-project costs are:
• A public improvement made within the District that also benefits
property outside the District. That portion of the total Project Costs
allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non -project
cost.
• A public improvement made outside the District that only partially
benefits property within the District. That portion of the total Project
Costs allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non-
project cost.
• Projects undertaken within the District as part of the implementation of
this Project Plan, the costs of which are paid fully or in part by impact
fees, grants, special assessments, or revenues other than tax increments.
No improvements to be made within the District will benefit property outside
the District. Furthermore, there will be no improvements made outside the
District that will only partially benefit the District.
