4. REVIEW OF TID NO. 1 2024 ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIALS
Administrator Cherek provided an update on TID 1. This Financial District was created in 2002 with a base
valuation of $7,361,400. Amendments were made over the years, including borrowing and investment for
development. Initial construction occurred on the south side in 2003–2004, with development on the north
side beginning in 2019. At the end of 2023, TID 1 has an assessment value of $38,235,900.
Current projects include a new Kwik Trip and a Menzner Hardwoods expansion along with the completion
of North Business Parkway utility/road construction. Estimated TID cost to complete the remaining work
on is $1,912,395.19. North Business Parkway is under construction, with blacktop installation near Kwik
Trip scheduled in the coming weeks. The remaining gravel road will be paved and curbed next year. TID 1
is at the end of its expenditure period, so no new construction projects can be taken and financed by this
TID District.
Kwik Trip is expected to add $2,500,000 in assessed value for 2025; Menzner’s project is valued at
$11,500,000 and completed in 2026. The TID currently shows a negative balance of $179,671 but with
current development agreements signed and in place, it is expected to end positive with a surplus projected
at $40,328 by 2035.
Trustee Vetter asked about additional housing, but it was noted the TID is at full capacity with multiple
Swiderski buildings already constructed. Discussion followed regarding a potential traffic study, stoplights
or roundabout installation, and possible speed limit reduction upon Kwik Trip’s opening.
5. REVIEW OF TID NO. 2 2024 ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIALS
Administrator Cherek provided an update on Tax Increment District (TID) No. 2. The district was
established in 2016 with a base value of $1,146,800. It was created to address blighted properties within
Marathon City and to support the redevelopment of the Downtown area.
Since its creation, the assessed value within TID 2 has increased to $6,428,700, largely due to the Marathon
Cheese expansion. The Village continues to actively promote economic development, with a particular
focus on opportunities in the 400 Block.
Currently, TID 2 is operating at a deficit due to limited development activity. As a result, the TID has been
borrowing from the General Fund to support ongoing expenses.
Development opportunities remain available in the 400 Block and on the lot located behind the R-Store.
Additionally, construction of the new baseball fields is underway, which may impact the future use of the
former Veterans Park site.
6. ADJOURNMENT
A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Vetter, second by Strebe. Motion carried by voice vote.
