SECTION 2. Findings and Determinations. In accordance with the Act, the City hereby
makes the following findings and determinations with respect to the Development Area:
(a) The Development Area consists of a contiguous tract of land that is no more than
three (3) square miles. The actual size of the Development Area is 315 acres,
more or less.
(b) The Development Area is characterized by the following conditions that make it
eligible for tax increment financing under KRS 65.7049(3):
1) A substantial loss of commercial activity has occurred. Commercial
activity within the Development Area has been in a state of economic decline
for years. In its present state, only some of the parcels zoned for commercial
use within the Development Area are being used for commercial purposes,
while the majority contain underutilized, unoccupied, or deteriorating
structures. The Development Area includes many empty storefronts and
buildings which have been unoccupied for years and continue to deteriorate.
2) Public improvements and public infrastructure are inadequate. While the
City has invested a significant deal of money and effort in recent years to
assist in the revitalization of the riverfront in downtown Paducah, the area is
still significantly lacking in terms of the infrastructure needed to support the
desired redevelopment. The construction of the requisite public
infrastructure creates a heavy financial burden for any potential developer
within the Development Area.
3) There is a combination of factors that substantially impairs growth and
economic development of the Development Area. Paducah sees the need to
reshape its downtown riverfront core in order to generate the critical mass of
activity that communities of its size so often struggle to reach. Reaching this
critical mass would allow the City to achieve significant growth an economic
development in this Area, but it is inhibited by a variety of issues. The
presence of the floodwall along the riverfront makes cohesive and seamless
development in the Area more difficult and creates additional costs that must
be mitigated in order to attract private investment. The connectivity and
visibility issues that it creates will require thoughtful investment from public
sources, such as the TIF program. Traffic circulation in the area creates
impediments to safe and pleasant pedestrian movement throughout the
riverfront area that will require additional investment from public sources to
reshape its flow while providing adequate and appealing transportation safety
features. And while increased pedestrian traffic throughout the riverfront is
the goal, it is likely that many of these pedestrians will still be planning to
drive to the riverfront and park their car nearby before exploring the Area,
which will require the construction of structured parking. This will allow more
efficient land use by facilitating and promoting increased vertical construction
along the riverfront, creating higher levels of density and allowing the
community to maximize the Area's economic impacts. The Project's proposed
mix of uses will be highly impactful within the Area and to the whole region,
but these various factors have prevented such growth from occurring and will
remain a barrier to achieving meaningful private investment in the area
without financial assistance from public sources.
C) The establishment of the Development Area will not cause the assessed taxable
value of real property within the Development Area and within all "development
areas" and "local development areas" established by the City (as those terms are
defined in the Act) to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total assessed taxable
value of real property within Paducah. The assessed value of taxable real property
within the Development Area for calendar year 2018 was $22.0 million. The City
and County have not previously established any other development area pursuant
to the Act. The total assessed value of taxable real property within the County
for the calendar year 2018 is approximately $4.0 billion. Therefore, the assessed
value of taxable real property within all development areas is less than twenty
percent (20%) of the assessed value of taxable real property within the County.
d) The City finds that the Development Area is not reasonably expected to be
developed without public assistance. The public infrastructure costs within the
Development Area are too high for the Project to occur without public assistance,
particularly as relates to the lack of structured parking and pedestrian connectivity
throughout the Development Area. It is estimated that the total cost of the public
infrastructure improvements planned within the Development Area is
approximately $56.5 million. Without public funding, including the critical pledge
of State incremental revenues under the Commonwealth Participation Program for
Mixed -Use Redevelopment in Blighted Urban Areas, the proposed Project within
the Development Area would not be possible.
e) The public benefits of redeveloping the Development Area justify the public costs
proposed. As detailed in the Commonwealth Economics Report, attached hereto
as Exhibit D, (the "Report"), the investment is estimated to reach $156.3 million,
only $56.5 million of which is expected to be spent on public infrastructure costs.
The project is expected to support over 1,100 jobs annually and generate $88.9
million in total economic impact by year 5. Its construction, alone, is estimated to
generate a one-time impact that includes over $156 million of construction
spending resulting in $89.7 million of labor income, support for 1,935 jobs, and
$258.9 million in total economic impact. While the City and County will pledge
one -hundred percent (100%) of new ad valorem property taxes and occupational
taxes to help pay for the proposed public infrastructure, it will generate significant
new revenues from the other local taxes not pledged but still generated by the
Project.
e) The City finds that very few portions of the area immediately surrounding the
Development Area have been subject to growth and development through
investment by private enterprise without the use of incentives, and certainly none
to the extent contemplated by this Project. Additionally, certain circumstances
within the development area would prevent its development without the use of
public assistance, due to the extensive infrastructure needs, particularly with
regard to parking and connectivity.
SECTION 3. Establishment, Name, Boundaries. The Development Area, which is
described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, is located within the City and is
hereby established and designated as the "Downtown Riverfront Development Area." At the
time of the enactment of this Ordinance, the Development Area is less than three (3) square
miles.
SECTION 4. Establishment Date, Commencement Date, Termination Date. The
"Establishment Date" is the effective date of this Ordinance. The "Commencement Date" of the
Development Area is the date of execution of the Local Participation Agreement. The
"Termination Date" shall be the earliest to occur of (i) the date exactly twenty (20) years
subsequent to the Activation Date for the pledge of Incremental Revenues, as more particularly
set forth in the Local Participation Agreement and the Act, or (ii) the final payment of the
Incremental Revenues and the use of such Incremental Revenues pursuant to the TIF
Documents; provided, however, that if a Tax Incentive Agreement for the Project or a Local
Participation Agreement relating to the Development Area has a Termination Date that is later
than the Termination Date established in this Ordinance, the Termination Date for the
Development Area shall be extended to the Termination Date of the Tax Incentive Agreement, or
the Local Participation Agreement. However, the Termination Date for the Development Area
shall in no event be more than twenty (20) years from the Establishment Date.
SECTION 5. Adoption of Development Plan. The City of Paducah, acting by and through
its Board of Commissioners, hereby adopts the Development Plan attached hereto and

by the Mayor on behalf of the City of Paducah shall be in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C and incorporated by reference herein, subject to further negotiations and changes
therein as determined by the Mayor in his or her discretion that are not materially inconsistent

DEVELOPMENT PLAN
TIF Development Plan for the
Downtown Riverfront Development
Area
SECTION 11. Introduction.
1.1 Purpose. The City of Paducah ("City") intends to establish the Downtown
Riverfr.ont Development Area (the "Development Area") pursuant to the provisions of KRS
65.7041 to 65.7083, and KRS 154.30-010 to 154.30-090, as the same may be amended
(collectively, the "Act"), and to ask for the support and participation of McCracken County
("County") and to request funding from the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the "State") to
support public infrastructure necessary to support a mixed-use development (the "Project")
within the Development Area being undertaken by several different development groups or
their affiliates (the "Developers"). The City proposes to support the Project and provide
redevelopment assistance through a pledge of certain new City, County, and State
incremental tax revenues generated from the Project within the Development Area and to
undertake certain public infrastructure improvements needed within the Development Area.
The Project proposed by the Developers or its affiliates is expected to include mixed-use
retail and restaurant space, additional hotel rooms, and residential buildings, as well as the
construction and renovation of public buildings that will provide meeting, entertainment,
and educational space. In order to help ensure the success and support of the Project and
the revitalization of Paducah's riverfront, a variety of public improvements are needed
within the Development Area.
1.2 Size and Location. The Development Area consists of 315 acres and is located
along the downtown riverfront in Paducah, Kentucky and through the City's main corridor
down Broadway.
1.3 Current Uses. The Development Area currently contains a wide variety of
zoning categories and uses, including business/professional/service, residential, and
industrial.
SECTION 112. The Development Area.
SECTION 1112.1 Assurances Regarding the Size and Taxable Assessed
Value of the Development Area and Other Matters. The City finds in
accordance with the Act that:
(a) The Development Area is a contiguous Area consisting of 315 acres,
which is less than three (3) square miles in area;
(b) The establishment of the Development Area will not cause the assessed
taxable value of real property within the Development Area and within all
"development areas" and "local development areas" established by the City (as those
terms are defined in the Act) to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total assessed
taxable value of real property within Paducah. The assessed value of taxable real
property within the Development Area for calendar year 2018 was $22.0 million.
The City and County have not previously established any other development area
pursuant to the Act. The total assessed value of taxable real property within the
County for the calendar year 2018 is approximately $4.0 billion. Therefore, the
assessed value of taxable real property within all development areas is less than
twenty percent (20%) of the assessed value of taxable real property within the
County; and
1. TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 2/81
(c) That the Development Area constitutes previously developed land as
required by KRS 65.7043.
2.2 Statement of Conditions and Findings Regarding the
Development Area. Pursuant to KRS 65.7049(3), a development area shall exhibit at
least two (2) of the following conditions to qualify for designation as a "development
area" under the Act and to qualify for a pledge of State incremental revenues
pursuant to KRS 154-30.060 it must exhibit at least three (3):
(a)Substantial loss of residential, commercial, or industrial activity or use;
(b) Forty percent (40%) or more of the households are low-income
households;
(c)More than fifty percent (50%) of residential, commercial, or industrial
structures are deteriorating or deteriorated;
(d) Substantial abandonment of residential, commercial, or industrial
structures;
(e)Substantial presence of environmentally contaminated land;
(f) Inadequate public improvements or substantial deterioration in public
infrastructure; or
(g) Any combination of factors that substantially impairs or arrests the
growth and economic development of the city or county; impedes the provision of
adequate housing; impedes the development of commercial or industrial property; or
adversely affects public health, safety, or general welfare due to the development
area's present condition and use.
The City has reviewed and analyzed the conditions within the Development
Area and finds that the Development Area exhibits at least three of the qualifying
characteristics:
(1)A substantial loss of commercial activity has occurred. Commercial activity
within the Development Area has been in a state of economic decline for years. In its
present state, only some of the parcels zoned for commercial use within the
Development Area are being used for commercial purposes, while the majority
contain underutilized, unoccupied, or deteriorating structures. The Development
Area includes many empty storefronts and buildings which have been unoccupied
for years and continue to deteriorate.
(2) Public improvements and public infrastructure are inadequate. While the City
has invested a significant deal of money and effort in recent years to assist in the
revitalization of the riverfront in downtown Paducah, the area is still significantly
lacking in terms of the infrastructure needed to support the desired redevelopment.
The construction of the requisite public infrastructure creates a heavy financial
burden for any potential developer within the Development Area. The following
are non-exclusive examples of public infrastructure improvements that will enable
construction of the Project and catalyze additional growth and redevelopment within
the Development Area:
• Parking - As downtown develops, the Development Area will face an
increasing deficiency in the number of parking spots available to support
future projects. Most of the parking near the riverfront is surface parking
1. TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 3/81
that takes up significant valuable acreage, an inefficient solution due to
the reduced density it creates in the downtown area, utilizing some of the
parcels with the most economic potential in a least impactful way.
Structured parking will be required to accommodate both the new and
existing businesses, particularly regarding peak traffic times related to
events and conferences as the Project and Development Area is
redeveloped. This investment will allow the area to attract vertical
redevelopment, maximizing the land use along the riverfront and
allowing a level of density that a successful revitalization and
reimagination of the downtown Paducah riverfront will require.
• Connectivity Improvements and Public Space - The possible re-routing of
existing roads, various streetscape improvements, and the creation of new
pathways and walkways to accommodate increased pedestrian and
bicycle traffic along the riverfront and through the downtown corridor.
These improvements will go a long way towards attracting visitors and
residents, alike, to Paducah's riverfront by creating an inviting pedestrian
and bike -friendly environment with plenty of outdoor space, including a
Riverfront Park, that will be well-suited for hosting public gatherings and
events.
• Waterfront Public Landing Improvements - The dredging of the river near
the banks and the construction of a new steamboat landing area will allow
increased boating access. The dredging and additional landing will
allow more large-scale boats to dock at Paducah"s riverfront throughout
the year, bringing more visitors into the community and the downtown
area, in particular. Combining these improvements with the rest of the
Project will create an exciting and welcoming environment that will
encourage increased visitorship while providing an opportunity to realize
longer stays and a significantly greater impact to the local economy.
• Utilities - Utility improvements necessary to provide service throughout
the Development Area may include expansion of broadband internet
access, sanitary sewer lines, storm sewer lines, water service lines, electric,
gas, and telephone, to provide sufficient access throughout the riverfront
and to accommodate the increased usage that the Project and its patrons
will require.
• Environmental - The Development Area is likely to require some
demolition and brownfield remediation from past commercial uses within
the Development Area. Several areas of concern include lead-based paint
and asbestos remediation in older structures, however, the true extent to
which remediation may be necessary is uncertain.
• Public Buildings and Amenities - The Project plans include the
rehabilitation/construction of certain public buildings focused on
promoting increased visitorship to the area, including the redevelopment
of museum and event space in the Showcase Lounge and the
rehabilitation of the Columbia Theatre. These amenities will provide
modern space along the riverfront for hosting conferences and events,
museum space, and a unique setting for performances and presentations
at the heart of Paducah's riverfront and its downtown corridor.
(3)There is a combination of factors that substantially impairs growth and
I . TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 4/81
economic development of the Development Area. Paducah sees the need to
reshape its downtown riverfront core in order to generate the critical mass of activity
that communities of its size so often struggle to reach. Reaching this critical mass
would allow the City to achieve significant growth an economic development in this
Area, but it is inhibited by a variety of issues. The presence of the floodwall along the
riverfront makes cohesive and seamless development in the Area more difficult and
creates additional costs that must be mitigated in order to attract private investment.
The connectivity and visibility issues that it creates will require thoughtful
investment from public sources, such as the TIF program. Traffic circulation in the
area creates impediments to safe and pleasant pedestrian movement throughout the
riverfront area that will require additional investment from public sources to reshape
its flow while providing adequate and appealing transportation safety features. And
while increased pedestrian traffic throughout the riverfront is the goal, it is likely that
many of these pedestrians will still be planning to drive to the riverfront and park
their car nearby before exploring the Area, which will require the construction of
structured parking. This will allow more efficient land use by facilitating and
promoting increased vertical construction along the riverfront, creating higher levels
of density and allowing the community to maximize the Area's economic impacts.
The Project's proposed mix of uses will be highly impactful within the Area and to
the whole region, but these various factors have prevented such growth from
occurring and will remain a barrier to achieving meaningful private investment in
the area without financial assistance from public sources.
2.3 Assurances the Development Area Is Not Reasonably Expected
to Develop Without Public Assistance. The City finds that the Development Area
is not reasonably expected to be developed without public assistance. The public
infrastructure costs within the Development Area are too high for the Project to occur
without public assistance, particularly as relates to the lack of structured parking and
pedestrian connectivity throughout the Development Area. It is estimated that the
total cost of the public infrastructure improvements planned within the Development
Area is approximately $56.5 million. Without public funding, including the critical
pledge of State incremental revenues under the Commonwealth Participation
Program for Mixed -Use Redevelopment in Blighted Urban Areas, the proposed
Project within the Development Area would not be possible.
2.4 Assurances the Public Benefits of Redeveloping the Development
Area as Proposed Justify the Public Costs Proposed. The City finds that the
public benefits of developing the Development Area justify the public costs
proposed. As detailed in the Commonwealth Economics Report, attached hereto as
Exhibit "A", (the "Report"), the investment is estimated to reach $156.3 million, $99.8
million of which relates to private costs, and $56.5 million of which is for approved
public infrastructure costs. Over a 20 -year period, the project is expected to support
over 1,100 jobs annually and $1.9 billion in total economic impact. While the City
may pledge certain new ad valorem property taxes and occupational taxes to pay for
the proposed public infrastructure, it will attract significant private investment in its
downtown riverfront while leveraging a reinvestment of state tax dollars and will
generate new revenues from local incremental revenues not pledged (including
school and fire district taxes).
The Project is expected to generate much more tax revenue than is currently
I . TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 5/81
being generated within the Development Area. According to the Report, over a
20 -year period, the Project is estimated to generate $118.0 million of on-site eligible
state and local tax revenues. This includes $23.4 million in local taxes and $94.6
million in state taxes. After subtracting the estimated baseline tax revenues, total
incremental tax revenues generated within the Development Area are estimated at
approximately $113.5 million over a 20 -year period. After 20 percent is retained by
the state, such amount translates to an estimated $75.0 million available for State
participation and an estimated $19.8 million for local participation.
Based on research and analysis document in the Report, the Project is estimated
to have a significant economic and fiscal impact to the regional economy. Its
construction, alone, is estimated to generate a one-time impact that includes over
$156.3 million of total spending, $89.7 million of total wages, support for 1,935 jobs,
and $258.9 million in total economic impact.
2.5 Assurances Regarding the Area Immediately Surrounding the
Development Area. Pursuant to the Act, the establishment of a development area
requires a finding that the area immediately surrounding the Development Area has
not been subject to growth and development through investment by private
enterprise, or that there are certain special circumstances within the Development
Area that would prevent its development without public assistance. The City finds
that very few portions of the area immediately surrounding the Development Area
have been subject to growth and development through investment by private
enterprise without the use of incentives, and certainly none to the extent
contemplated by this Project. Additionally, certain circumstances within the
development area would prevent its development without the use of public
assistance, due to the infrastructure needs as described in Section 2.2, particularly
with regard to parking and the beautification and connectivity of downtown
Paducah and the riverfront through pedestrian -friendly amenities and
improvements.
2.6 Development Area Description. The Development Area includes the
real property within the boundaries described on the site plan and legal description
attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
2.7 Existing Uses and Conditions. The Development Area currently
contains a variety of zoning categories and uses that allow commercial, residential,
and industrial activity. Because the boundary includes the downtown core, there
are some existing commercial businesses located within the Development Area.
However, the businesses currently in operation are joined by those who have gone
out of business and have shut their doors, leaving behind empty store fronts and
unused deteriorating buildings, which not only provide no economic benefit to the
area, but have deleterious impacts to both investment in and tourism to the Area.
Furthermore, the lack of sufficient, well-designed infrastructure in the area has
prevented interested developers in pursuing redevelopment projects due to the
prohibitively high costs associated with rehabilitation and abatement of deteriorating
structures, the provision of adequate parking, and developing attractive streetscapes
and walking paths. Without public investment, the riverfront in the downtown
corridor will continue to sit unoccupied, allowing one of the City's most valuable
assets, its riverfront, to continue to underperform economically.
I . TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 6/81
There are no apparent conditions in the Development Area that would prevent it
from being developed as contemplated by this Development Plan with the assistance
of the state and local government to defray the significant cost of public
infrastructure.
2.8 Proposed Changes in the Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map,
Comprehensive Plan or Other Codes or Plans Necessary to Implement the
Development Plan. It is not anticipated that any zone changes will be necessary to
implement the Development Plan as currently contemplated.
2.9 Certification of Compliance with the Comprehensive Land -Use
Plan. The Downtown Riverfront Development Plan has been created through the
process of Developers collaborating with the working group that was assembled by
representatives from the City and County. The Development Plan was submitted for
certification of compliance with the duly adopted Comprehensive Plan. Attached as
Exhibit "C" is the documentation of certification.
SECTION IV3. The Development Program.
The Project proposed for the Development Area includes the following approved
public infrastructure and public improvement elements, in addition to the private
portions of the Project, as described more particularly in the report attached hereto as
Exhibit "A".
3.1 Private Development. It is currently estimated that the private
development components within the Development Area will cost approximately
$99.9 million and include hotel, retail, restaurant, residential and manufacturing
space, as described more particularly in the report attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
3.2 Public Infrastructure and Improvements. Qualifying public
infrastructure expenditures could reach up to an estimated $56.5 million within the
Development Area including, but not limited to, the following components:
• Parking — As downtown develops, the Development Area will face an
increasing deficiency in the number of parking spots available to support
future projects. Most of the parking near the riverfront is surface parking
that takes up significant valuable acreage, an inefficient solution due to
the reduced density it creates in the downtown area, utilizing some of the
parcels with the most economic potential in a least impactful way.
Structured parking will be required to accommodate both the new and
existing businesses, particularly regarding peak traffic times related to
events and conferences as the Project and Development Area is
redeveloped. This investment will allow the area to attract vertical
redevelopment, maximizing the land use along the riverfront and
allowing a level of density that a successful revitalization and
reimagination of the downtown Paducah riverfront will require.
• Connectivity Improvements and Public Space — The possible re-routing of
existing roads, various streetscape improvements, and the creation of new
pathways and walkways to accommodate increased pedestrian and
bicycle traffic along the riverfront and through the downtown corridor.
These improvements will go a long way towards attracting visitors and
residents, alike, to Paducah's riverfront by creating an inviting pedestrian
and bike -friendly environment with plenty of outdoor space, including a
I . TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 7/81
Riverfront Park, that will be well-suited for hosting public gatherings and
events.
• Waterfront Public Landing Improvements - The dredging of the river near
the banks and the construction of a new steamboat landing area will allow
increased boating access. The dredging and additional landing will
allow more large-scale boats to dock at Paducah"s riverfront throughout
the year, bringing more visitors into the community and the downtown
area, in particular. Combining these improvements with the rest of the
Project will create an exciting and welcoming environment that will
encourage increased visitorship while providing an opportunity to realize
longer stays and a significantly greater impact to the local economy.
• Utilities - Utility improvements necessary to provide service throughout
the Development Area may include expansion of broadband internet
access, sanitary sewer lines, storm sewer lines, water service lines, electric,
gas, and telephone, to provide sufficient access throughout the riverfront
and to accommodate the increased usage that the Project and its patrons
will require.
• Environmental - The Development Area is likely to require some
demolition and brownfield remediation from past commercial uses within
the Development Area. Several areas of concern include lead-based paint
and asbestos remediation in older structures, however, the true extent to
which remediation may be necessary is uncertain.
• Public Buildings and Amenities - The Project plans include the
rehabilitation/construction of certain public buildings focused on
promoting increased visitorship to the area, including the redevelopment
of museum and event space in the Showcase Lounge and the
rehabilitation of the Columbia Theatre. These amenities will provide
modern space along the riverfront for hosting conferences and events,
museum space, and a unique setting for performances and presentations
at the heart of Paducah's riverfront and its downtown corridor.
SECTION V4. Development assistance and Finance Plan.
The Proposed "redevelopment assistance", as defined in the Act, to be provided
in the Development Area is estimated to cost up to approximately $56.5 million, not
including interest expenses. The City and County may pledge up to one -hundred
percent (100%) of their incremental tax revenues from real property taxes and
occupational taxes from the Project for up to a 30 -year period and, in accordance with
the Act; will create a special fund for the deposit of pledged incremental revenues. In
addition, the City and/or an agency thereof will submit an application to the
Kentucky Economic Development Finance Administration ("KEDFA") to request
State participation in the form of a pledge of up to eighty (80%) of incremental State
tax revenues generated from the Project for up to a 20 -year period.
The City will establish a special fund for the deposit of pledged incremental
revenues. Pledged incremental revenues deposited into this special fund will be
used to provide "redevelopment assistance" and to reimburse the financing and/or
upfront expenditure by private parties and/or the City or County on "approved
public infrastructure costs" or to pay directly for such redevelopment assistance and
approved public infrastructure costs, and any other purposes in compliance with this
I . TIF Development Plan for the Downtown Riverfront Development
Area 8/81
Development Plan, the Act, and all agreements and documents entered into in
connection therewith. It is anticipated that, in some cases, private parties may pay
for some portion of the public improvements within the Development Area and seek
reimbursement in conformity with the TIF statutes and agreements between the
Developers and the government. The City will enact an ordinance establishing the
Development Area and adopting this Development Plan (and the County may do the
same). The development ordinance will designate the Finance Department (the
"Agency"), organized by the City, to oversee, administer and implement the TIF
ordinances and agreements.
As set forth in more detail in the attached Report, the Project is estimated to
directly generate approximately $113.5 million in TIF -eligible incremental tax
revenues over a 20 -year period. The extent to which these revenues may be available
to provide redevelopment assistance and reimburse approved public infrastructure
costs will ultimately depend on the levels of participation agreed to by the various
governing bodies and the extent to which the incremental revenues are actually
generated.
SECTION VIS. Conclusions.
The Development Area's mix of private investment and public improvement will
allow for the continued revitalization of Paducah's riverfront in creating a unique
destination for visitors and residents, alike. The proposed assistance is critical to
achieving and incentivizing successful redevelopment throughout the Development
Area as it will attract significant private investment and provide a useful funding
mechanism for the future and continued revitalization of Paducah's riverfront.

the Tax Incentive Agreement shall be deposited in the Special Fund as soon as they are
received each year after the first calendar year of activation. The Incremental Revenues
from the State are hereby irrevocably pledged and shall be maintained by the Agency and
used solely for payment of, or as reimbursement for, Approved Public Infrastructure Costs
in support of the Project(s) pursuant to the terms set forth in the TIF Documents and for no
other purpose. The Special Fund shall be continued and maintained until the Termination
Date of the Development Area.
4. At the Termination Date (as defined in the Development Area Ordinance) all
amounts remaining in the Special Fund shall be transferred to the General Fund of the
City and County based upon how much of the increment each had deposited.

shall not be modified without the specific approval of the City, County, Agency,
Developer(s) and/or State as may be applicable.
It is understood by the parties that the project financing for the project as provided
in this Agreement shall not constitute a debt of the City, County, the Agency or the State
or a pledge of the full faith and credit of the City, County, the Agency or the State and the
City, County, Agency and the State shall have no obligation, whatsoever, toward the
payment of any developer's costs for the project beyond the pledge of incremental
revenues as provided for in this agreement, and that any project financing needed for the
project shall be the responsibility of the developer.

hereof by the City and County. The Activation Date for the pledge of Incremental
Revenues as set forth in Section VI hereof shall be determined by the Agency in

any obligation on such parties' part to be performed under this Agreement, other than an
obligation requiring the payment of a sum of money, if and so long as the nonperformance

party shall notify the other party in writing of the existence and nature of any such
Unavoidable Delay and the steps, if any, which the non-performing party shall have taken

fully informed, in writing, of further developments concerning such Unavoidable Delay
and the effort being made by the non-performing party to perform such obligation as to
which it is in default. All provisions of any construction schedule shall be adjusted in
accordance with such Unavoidable Delay.

This description was prepared for establishing the City of Paducah Downtown Riverfront
Development Area only and is not to be used for the conveyance of real property. Bearings and
distance have not been verified via field survey.

Exhibit B: The Project
The City of Paducah will be working with various developers to complete the Project in Paducah
through a mixture of public and private investment. The aim is to redevelop and connect vacant
properties in the downtown area to Paducah's riverfront, while also developing the necessary
public infrastructure and new supportive uses on a handful of adjacent lots that are build ready.
This will attract and support a greater level of density and vertical development throughout the
City which will spur additional event and businesses activity.
Planning is currently underway for the proposed redevelopment, which is anticipated to include
the following components:
• Public Buildings/Structures: Riverfront Park, Steamboat Landing, Parking, Town Square,
and Broadband Infrastructure Improvements
• Redeveloped/New Restaurant and Retail Space - 111,728 total square feet
• Hotel rooms — 147
• Independent Art House/Theater - 12,540 square feet
• Redeveloped Manufacturing Space — 130,000 square feet
• Redeveloped/New Residential Housing — 204 units
• Museum — 12,500 square feet
• Conference/Event Space — 15,000 square feet
• Conference Food Services — 2,500 square feet
Based on construction, site work, and miscellaneous costs, the total construction cost, public and
private, is estimated to be approximately $156.3 million. It is anticipated that $56.5 million of
the total cost may be considered as approved public infrastructure, including: the riverfront park,
steamboat landing, museum, conference/event space, town square, a portion of the broadband
infrastructure, independent art house/theater, parking, and all site work and utility provisions.
EXHIBIT C
Exhibit C: Financing Plan
To provide funding support for the needed capital improvements set forth in the
Development Plan and to provide support for the Project and provide redevelopment assistance,
the City of Paducah ("City") and McCracken County ("County") plan to create the Downtown
Riverfront Development Area pursuant to the provision of KRS 65.7041 to KRS 65.7083 and to
utilize a portion of the new incremental revenues generated to provide redevelopment assistance
and support the financing of public infrastructure improvements.
The plan provides that the City and County will pledge 100% of the new incremental revenues,
generated from within the Development Area, from real property taxes and occupational taxes
over a 30 -year period to pay for certain project costs. It is understood that the local revenues from
the Development Area that were being generated prior to the Project's development (the baseline)
shall not be subject to any pledge of revenues to support the Project.
In addition, the plan may include the submission of an application to the Kentucky Economic
Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) to seek a pledge of 80% of new incremental state
revenues from the footprint of the Project, to provide funding for approved public infrastructure
costs. Other state and federal incentive programs may also be levered in order to make the Project
feasible.
Financina, Plan
The Project is made up of both public and private components. The total cost of the project is
estimated to be approximately $156.3 million, which includes approximately $56.5 million in
qualifying public infrastructure costs.
It is expected that certain public infrastructure costs and all private development costs of the
project will be financed privately by the developer(s). This private financing may include
tax-exempt tax increment financing bonds and there may also be bonds or other debt issued that
will be guaranteed by a public entity to finance certain pieces of this project. A portion of the
incremental revenues pledged in this agreement will be granted to the developer or a trustee on a
receipts basis, as outlined by KRS 154.30-090. The pledge of these incremental revenues is critical
to the affordability of financing the project. Until the structure of the deal is finalized — and the
balance of public and private cost sharing delineated — it is too early at this time to detail the
financing costs of the project.

I. INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SECTION IXIntroduction
Commonwealth Economics, LLC was retained by the City of Paducah (the "City" or
"Paducah") to conduct a Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") analysis of The Paducah
Riverfront TIF Project (the "Project") in Paducah, Kentucky.' The role of this TIF study is
to compare the impact of this new economic activity on state and local tax revenues to
the requested amount of the TIF.
SECTION XExecutive Summary
The subject of this analysis is the Paducah Riverfront Mixed-use TIF Redevelopment
Project, which is to be located on various lots along Broadway, 5th, 2nd, and 3rd street in
Paducah, Kentucky.
The Project is anticipated to include:
• Public Buildings/ Structures: Riverfront Park, Steamboat Landing, Parking, Town
Square, and Broadband Infrastructure Improvements
• Redeveloped/New Restaurant and Retail Space -111,728 total square feet
• Hotel rooms -147
• Independent Art House/Theater -12,540 square feet
• Redeveloped Manufacturing Space -130,000 square feet
• Redeveloped/New Residential Housing - 204 units
• Museum -12,500 square feet
• Conference/ Event Space -15,000 square feet
1 The results presented herein are fair and reasonable. Based on Commonwealth Economics' analysis, the Project is a
strategic development that will bring significant economic and fiscal benefits to both Paducah and the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.
Commonwealth Economics utilized sources deemed to be reliable but cannot guarantee their accuracy. Moreover,
estimates and analysis presented in this study are based on trends and assumptions, which usually result in differences
between the projected results and actual results. And because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as
expected, those differences may be material.
Page13
• Conference Food Services - 2,500 square feet
Its estimated costs include:
• Total cost of $156.4 million
o $99.9 million in private costs
o $56.5 million in public infrastructure costs
It is important to understand that the Project would not happen without certain
expenditures on infrastructure. The Project includes multiple public infrastructure
elements, such as; the riverfront park, steamboat landing, museum, conference/ event
space, town square, a portion of the broadband infrastructure, an independent art
house/ theater, parking, and all site work and utility provisions. This type of Project is
specifically what the State's TIF Program is designed to incentivize.
Based on research and analysis documented in this report, the Paducah Riverfront TIF
redevelopment Project is estimated to have a significant economic and fiscal impact to
the local economy. In the 20 -year period following completion, the Paducah Riverfront
TIF footprint is estimated to generate $113.5 million of eligible state and local
incremental tax revenues.2
After at least 20 percent is retained by the State, approximately $94.8 million of this
incremental tax revenue may be available over 20 years through the TIF program to
cover costs that qualify as approved public infrastructure. However, this participation
would be subject to a "net new" cap imposed by the Cabinet for Economic
Development based on an independent consultant's analysis, which will likely further
limit the amount available for reimbursement. Additionally, the net present value of
this $94.8 million is dependent upon many variables in the tax-exempt
financing/ bonding market.
In addition to the $113.5 million of incremental tax revenues generated within the
footprint, the Project is expected to have a significant economic impact throughout the
area. Over a 20 -year period, the full Project is expected to facilitate:
• Over $1.9 billion in total economic impact
2 It is important to understand that this participation would also be subject to a "net new" cap imposed by the Cabinet
for Economic Development based on an independent consultant's analysis, and reimbursement is limited to Approved
Public Infrastructure expenditures.
Page14
• 1,169 jobs annually
The body of this report further details the Project and its economic impact as it relates to
Tax Increment Financing. It will demonstrate that, due to the problems inherent with the
Property, the benefits that arise from the Project, and the purposes of TIF legislation, the
Project qualifies for the TIF program.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This section provides an overview of the proposed Paducah Riverfront Mixed-use TIF
Redevelopment Project to be located in Paducah, Kentucky including a history of
previous initiatives and a description of the proposed Project's scope, amenities, and
site development costs.
SECTION XIBackground
Founded in 1827 by William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame, the City of Paducah's (the
"City" or "Paducah") origin and prosperity can be attributed to its strategic location at
the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. The combination of southern charm
and hospitality that originated with Paducah's founding is still alive and well in this
vibrant river city today.
Paducah has undertaken multiple initiatives which have highlighted Paducah" s lively
history and created real potential for growth. However, the City has not been able to
fully capitalize on its recreational, cultural, and historical ties with the river, and the
economic opportunities they present when linked to the Riverfront area. This is in large
part due to a lack of necessary public infrastructure components and redevelopment
activity on vacant properties located near Paducah" s Riverfront.
Riverfront Redevelopment Initiatives
With its geographic location and current assets, Paducah is already known by many as
an inland waterways hub that plays an important role in the future (and growth) of the
inland waterways industry. Being home to the Seaman's Church Training Institute,
Ingram Barge Company, Marquette, Crounse, and many other river -related leaders is an
important and telling asset to the industry. Additionally, the Riverport's recent Marine
Highway Designation, the Foreign Trade Zone certification, the River Discovery Center,
and the City's dedication to its river heritage make for an environment that is well
suited for growth.
In 2007, the City created a Riverfront Redevelopment Master Plan (riverfront "Master
Plan") which laid out a long term physical renovation of the riverfront.3 Improvements
identified in the plan included a new public steamboat landing/ excursion pier facility,
3 Riverfront Redevelopment Master Plan (2007):
http:/ /paducahky.gov/—paducahky/sites/default/files/u3/FinalDraftMarch27-07.pdf
Page16
a new marina, a performance plaza, overlook/ observation deck, public recreation areas
(known as the Paducah Commons), connections to the greenway trail system, a new
boat launch, and the riverfront recreation park (known as Shultz Park). These
improvements, as they have been and are still being completed, provide a linkage to the
vibrant culture located near Paducah"s Riverfront, a regionally recognized convention
destination. To date, the investment in infrastructure facilities for Paducah"s riverfront
(both public and private) totals more than $35.8 million, including $11 million in federal
grant funding with Paducah providing $5 million in matching funds for the riverfront
redevelopment initiative.
Downtown Redevelopment Initiatives
More than $100 million has been invested in Paducah's historic downtown since the
start of revitalization efforts in 1992. Paducah"s incentive programs for downtown
include: Downtown Assessment and Reassessment Tax Moratorium, New Business
Grant Program, Facade and Beautification micro -grants, Roof Stabilization Assistance
Program, and the Upper Story Residential Grant Program. Since 2014, Paducah has
provided $1,038,400 in total incentive funding to downtown developers.
In 2015, the City completed the Paducah Commons Small Area Development Plan
("Paducah Commons") for a six -acre area that was the former home of the Executive
Inn Hotel located between the Paducah Convention and Exposition Center and the
recently completed transient dock and future steamboat landing/ excursion pier.4 This
site, and the surrounding area in general, contain buildings that have been vacant for
over 10 years.
It is anticipated that the Paducah Commons project will feature a compass rose pointing
north and east with art features at each point, an outdoor stepped -lawn amphitheater,
pergola covered promenade, active green space, swings along the greenway trail, and a
sculpture walk. Additionally, the project includes the redevelopment of the Executive
Inn Hotel which will encourage citizens and visitors alike to partake in additional
organic public gatherings, indoor consumer experiences, and outdoor events which
provide socio-economic connectivity between Downtown Paducah and riverfront
redevelopments.

Synopsis
Despite the above-mentioned accomplishments, Paducah still lacks the necessary public
infrastructure components and redevelopment activity on vacant properties downtown
which do not fully connect and capitalize on its riverfront redevelopment efforts. The
proposed Paducah Riverfront Mixed-use TIF Redevelopment Project will create a major
linkage between these properties and the riverfront.
It is important to note that Paducah has the human resource capacity to manage a large-
scale project, such as the one analyzed in this report. Paducah employs three full-time
professional engineers, two AICP certified planners, two Certified Public Accountants
("CPAs"), and one certified Project Management Professional ("PMP") with combined
experience of over 65 years.

SECTION MIDescription of the Paducah Riverfront TIF Project
The City of Paducah (the "City" or "Paducah") will be working with various developers
to complete the Project in Paducah through a mixture of public and private investment.
The aim is to redevelop and connect vacant properties in the downtown area to
Paducah's riverfront, while also developing the necessary public infrastructure and new
supportive uses on a handful of adjacent lots that are build ready. This will attract and
support a greater level of density and vertical development throughout the City which
will spur additional event and businesses activity.
Planning is currently underway for the proposed redevelopment, which is anticipated
to include the following components:
• Public Buildings/ Structures: Riverfront Park, Steamboat Landing, Parking, Town
Square, and Broadband Infrastructure Improvements
• Redeveloped/New Restaurant and Retail Space -111,728 total square feet
• Hotel rooms -147
• Independent Art House/Theater -12,540 square feet
• Redeveloped Manufacturing Space -130,000 square feet
• Redeveloped/ New Residential Housing - 204 units
• Museum -12,500 square feet
•
Conference/ Event Space -15,000 square feet
• Conference Food Services - 2,500 square feet
Based on construction, site work, and miscellaneous costs, the total construction cost,
public and private, is estimated to be approximately $156.3 million. It is anticipated that
$56.5 million of the total cost may be considered as approved public infrastructure,
including: the riverfront park, steamboat landing, museum, conference/ event space,
town square, a portion of the broadband infrastructure, independent art house/ theater,
parking, and all site work and utility provisions.
For the purposes of this study, each Project component will be shown as coming on line
at the same time in order to capture the full effect of the Project. It is important to note,
however, that certain Project components may be phased in throughout the 20 -year
P a g e � 9
period of the TIF. This can result in a slightly lower overall amount of TIF incremental
revenue available to the Project due to less time being spent by the Phased components
generating the increment (see following sections for a description of Kentucky's TIF
programs). Below is a combined summary of the Project upon full completion of
improvements, as well as new retail, restaurant, hotel, and residential housing
components to be built on adjacent lots.

III. QUALIFYING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
If the Project successfully applies for participation through any of the state TIF
programs, it may be eligible to recover up to 100 percent of Approved Public
Infrastructure costs, certain soft costs, and costs related to land preparation, demolition,
and clearance through the recapture of local and state incremental tax revenues. These
Approved Public Infrastructure costs may include:
Land preparation and demolition
Public buildings/ structures
Sewers/ storm drainage
Curbs, sidewalks, promenades, and pedways
Roads and street lighting
Provision/ modification of utilities
Environmental remediation
Floodwalls/floodgates
Public spaces and parks
Parking
Easements of rights of way
Transportation facilities
Public landings
Amenities (fountains, benches, sculptures, etc.)
River bank modifications
Related soft costs, legal fees, and contingencies;
All of the proposed public infrastructure Project elements discussed in the previous
section should qualify under one of these categories of public infrastructure. While
these costs may be recoverable, it should be understood that the funding of these
anticipated public infrastructure improvements would be on a reimbursement basis
that will require proof of the expenditure before funds will be released through the TIF
program and that the amount available from State participation will be subject to a cap.
In addition, these funds will not be available until the Project meets a minimum
spending threshold (discussed in the next section) and also begins to generate the
incremental tax revenues that can then be used to make financing payments or
reimburse the out-of-pocket expenditures on these elements.
Page 12
IV. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") is a form of economic incentive, which uses the
increase in local and state tax revenues generated on a development footprint (the
"increment") to finance certain public infrastructure components of the Project.
This financing is typically structured by the applicable local government issuing tax
increment bonds either as the guarantor or just as a conduit for the bonds. The proceeds
of the bonds are used to finance approved infrastructure costs. The increment is then
used to retire the bonds.
The Paducah Riverfront TIF Project will fall under the "Mixed-use" status. It meets the
following statutory qualifications for a "Mixed-use status":
• It must have a net positive economic and fiscal impact to the Commonwealth.
• It must not include any retail establishment that exceeds twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet of finished space.
• It must meet the required minimum capital investment of $20,000,000.
• It must include pedestrian amenities and public space.
• The development area must be less than the maximum three -square miles.
• The development must include at least two of the following: retail, residential,
office, restaurant, or hospitality.
• The project must be located in an area with blighted conditions and inadequate
public infrastructure.
• Under the Mixed-use TIF program, the tax recovery period is limited to 20 years.
In addition to the basic "mixed-use" requirements listed above, the Project is also
expected to meet the other legal requirement related to the local government's creation
of a "Development Area." The local government can create a Development Area by
determining that the area meets any two of the following conditions, but three findings
are required for State Mixed-use TIF Program participation:
a) Substantial loss of residential, commercial, or industrial activity or use;
Pagel 13
b) Forty percent (40%) or more of the households are low-income households;
c) More than fifty percent (50%) of residential, commercial, or industrial structures
are deteriorating or deteriorated;
d) Substantial abandonment of residential, commercial, or industrial structures;
e) Substantial presence of environmentally contaminated land;
f Inadequate public improvements or substantial deterioration in public
infrastructure; or
g) Any combination of factors that substantially impairs or arrests the growth and
economic development of the city or county; impedes the provision of adequate
housing; impedes the development of commercial or industrial property; or
adversely affects public health, safety, or general welfare due to the development
area's present condition and use.
Because the Paducah Riverfront TIF Project meets the statutory qualifications of the
State Mixed-use TIF program, it is eligible to use the incremental taxes created by the
Project to recover up to 100 percent of approved public infrastructure costs over a 20 -
year recovery period. These recoverable incremental taxes include:
• State Sales tax
• State Ad Valorem (real property) tax
• State Individual Income tax
• State Corporate Income tax
• Local Ad Valorem (real property) taxes
• Local Occupational taxes
All of the recoverable taxes must be generated within the Project's TIF footprint (see
previously, Figure 2).
Page 114
V. INCREMENTAL TAX REVENUE ESTIMATES
For the purpose of estimating the amount of potentially available TIF dollars from the
footprint that will be available to repay public infrastructure expenditures, it is
necessary to calculate the expected tax revenue on the new footprint. Fiscal impact
measures TIF applicable tax revenues that result from the spending and income related
to the activities at the Project. This analysis estimates the fiscal impacts of the TIF -
applicable tax revenues. Only taxes that are eligible for tax increment financing are
used.
Below is a breakdown of the taxes used to determine the fiscal impacts of the Project:
State taxes:
- Property Tax ...................................................... $0.122 per $100 of assessed value
- Sales Tax..................................................................................... 6.0 percent of
sales
- Individual Income Tax ........................................................ 5.0 percent of incomes
Local tax:
- City of Paducah Property Tax ..................... $0.2610 per $100 of assessed value6
- McCracken County Property Tax ............... $0.2170 per $100 of assessed value?
- City of Paducah Payroll Tax ............................................. 2.00 percent of salaries8
The estimated fiscal impact of the Project is based on a number of different assumptions
regarding the revenue generated by each component of the Paducah Riverfront Mixed-
use TIF Development Project. The revenue calculations are based on the size of the
Project component and its estimated sales per a given unit of measure.
5 Given the recent tax code changes in Kentucky, Commonwealth Economics is using a flat income tax rate of 5 percent
on all income earned in the state.
6 Assumes full participation from the City of Paducah real property tax. By law, School (.84%) and Fire District taxes
are not eligible for participation in the State TIF programs.
7 Assumes participation from the McCracken County real property tax which may include: general fiscal court of .094%,
library of .059%, extension services of .02904%, health of .024%, and mental health of .011 %. By law, School (.52%) and
Fire District taxes are not eligible for participation in the State TIF programs.

Baseline Tax Revenue Calculation
In order to properly estimate the tax revenues that will actually be available for a
mixed-use TIF project, it is necessary to subtract the baseline tax revenues from the
expected future revenues. The baseline tax revenues currently generated within the
proposed development area are likely significantly less than will be generated there
after the Paducah Riverfront Redevelopment Project is completed.
Because the anticipated footprint of the new Paducah Riverfront Redevelopment holds a
variety of private businesses, the amount of sales tax currently generated is not
accessible without authorization/ consent. Only the income, occupational, and property
taxes currently paid on each parcel within the footprint are certain. Because the sales tax
is currently unknown, our analysis here has only included the current income,
occupational, and property taxes.
Commonwealth Economics, the City of Paducah, and the McCracken County PVA
reviewed over 154 parcels of land and calculated a total existing taxable property value
Pagel 17
for the anticipated Development Area of $22.0 million. Furthermore, Commonwealth
Economics and the City of Paducah have estimated a total existing payroll of
approximately $4.0 million. Based on this analysis, the resulting income, occupational,
and property tax baseline calculation for the footprint totals an estimated $412,056
annually, as shown below in Figure 3.
Incremental Tax Revenue Calculation
Figure 4, on the next page, shows the projected TIF revenues resulting from the new
Paducah Riverfront Redevelopment over a 20 -year period. All applicable property,
income, and sales taxes are included. To account for the potential growth in future tax
revenues, all calculations are adjusted at the rate of 1.5% each year. Again, because the
sales, income, and occupational taxes are currently unknown, our analysis here has only
subtracted the current baseline property taxes. It is important to note that a baseline for
sales, income, and occupational taxes will need to be established at some point
throughout the application process.
As shown in Figure 4, over the allowable 20 -year TIF period, the Paducah Riverfront
Redevelopment is estimated to produce $123.1 million in State and Local TIF -eligible
tax revenues. Of this eligible amount, approximately $99.0 million is from State tax
revenues and $24.1 million is from Local tax revenues.
After the baseline property taxes are subtracted and 20 percent retained by state (the 20
percent retained by the state is required by statute), total cash flow eligible for TIF
participation is estimated to reach up to $94.8 million over the 20 -year period. This
includes $75.0 million from State TIF participation and $19.8 million from Local
participation. It is important to understand that the State TIF participation would also be
subject to a "net new" cap imposed by the Cabinet for Economic Development based on
an independent consultant's analysis, and reimbursement is limited to Approved Public
Infrastructure expenditures. Additionally, State may participate less than 80%.

VI. ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT IMPACTS
When construction of the proposed Paducah Riverfront TIF Redevelopment Project is
complete, the new events, hotel, independent art house/ theater, museum,
manufacturer, restaurants, retail stores, residential housing, and various activities and
transactions occurring within the improved site will generate on-going, annual
economic and fiscal impacts to the local economy. Initial transactions occurring within
the hotel, independent art house/ theater, museum, manufacturing space, restaurants,
and retail stores will ripple out into the local economy and generate indirect spending,
induced spending, increased earnings, and employment, as well as various tax
revenues. It is important to understand that these impacts include economic and fiscal
activity that may take place outside of the Project footprint, and therefore, are not all
recoverable through the TIF program. These impact estimates, however, assist in
quantifying the Project's overall economic value to the Commonwealth.
For analytical purposes, annual impact is estimated based on component type, such as
the retail and restaurant space. Conceptually, annual economic impact would include
the "ripple effects" generated from direct spending made by the shoppers and
restaurant patrons. This direct spending would then result in indirect spending,
induced spending, increased earnings, and employment.
SECTION XXVEconomic Impact- Definitions
Economic impact reflects the "ripple effect" or "multiplying effect" from initial
transaction, or "direct spending," that occurs as a direct result of a project being
developed. In the Paducah Riverfront TIF Project case, examples of initial transactions
are the visitors' expenditures during their time in Paducah at various lodging facilities,
restaurants, and shops. The "ripples" from these initial transactions include the
following:
Indirect Spending - consists of re -spending of the initial or direct expenditures.
For example, a visitor's direct expenditure on a retail purchase causes the store to
purchase goods and other items from suppliers. The portion of these store
purchases that are within the local, regional, or state economies is counted as an
indirect economic impact.
Induced Spending - represents changes in local consumption due to the
personal spending by employees whose incomes are affected by the Project. For
example, a waiter at a restaurant may spend more because he/she earns more.
Page 120
The amount of the increased income the waiter spends in the local economy is
considered an induced impact.
Increased Earnings - measures the change in total personal income, area -wide,
that results from the initial spending activities occurring as a result of the Project.
Increased Employment - measures the change in number of jobs, area -wide, that
result from the initial spending activities that occur as a result of the Project.
Indirect spending, induced spending, increased earnings, and employment impact are
estimated using multiplier factors. The multipliers utilized were derived from an
IMPLAN input-output model. IMPLAN is a nationally recognized model commonly
used to estimate economic impact. An input-output model analyzes the commodities
and income that normally flow through the various sectors of the economy.
SECTION XXVIImpact Analysis of Construction
The construction of the Paducah Riverfront TIF Project will create a one-time influx of
spending, which will ripple throughout the economy and result in indirect output,
induced output, labor income, and employment, as well as the related tax revenues.
There are two key impacts from construction to both the City of Paducah and the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. First, the construction itself directly creates construction
jobs, which are subject to state individual income tax and local occupational license tax.
Second, construction spending will ripple out and generate indirect output due to
spending on materials, induced output, increased earnings, and employment
throughout the economy, as well as State Sales Tax revenues associated with the
induced impacts. Figure 5, on the next page, conceptually illustrates the flows of
construction impacts, as well as the assumptions and tax rates utilized for the impact
calculation.

Shown in Figure 6, the $156.3 million of capital investment is estimated to generate
1,935 jobs (1,168 direct construction jobs and 767 indirect and induced jobs). These jobs
consequently are estimated to generate approximately $89.7 million of total labor
income.
The one-time influx of these economic impacts which will "ripple" throughout the
economy and result in indirect spending, induced spending, increased earnings and
employment, all of which create related tax revenues. These fiscal impacts are described
in detail in Figure 7, on the next page, which shows the taxes derived from the IMPLAN
model results generated using the estimated construction costs of the various Project
components.

VII. CONCLUSION
This Project will provide countless benefits to Paducah and the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and should meet the statutory qualifications of the State's Mixed-use TIF
Program. The Paducah Riverfront TIF Project is positioned to provide new space for
public events including a steamboat landing, town square, and riverfront park,
additional hotel rooms, a local culture driven independent art house/ theater, a
regional renown museum, and unique manufacturing jobs, as well as newly
redeveloped space for restaurant and retail stores surrounding residential housing
units.
This Mixed-use TIF Redevelopment Project will only be made possible through a
partnership between the public sectors and potential private developers in order to
provide support for the necessary infrastructure costs. The redeveloped vacant
properties and riverfront public infrastructure components will attract and support
a greater level of density and vertical development throughout the City which will
spur additional event and businesses activity.
It is important that the State Mixed-use TIF Program allow the Project to use the
increase in tax revenues generated within its footprint to help alleviate the high costs
associated with qualifying public infrastructure needs. It is estimated that up to
approximately $113.5 million in incremental tax revenue will be generated within the
TIF footprint. After at least 20 percent is retained by the State, approximately $94.8
million of this incremental tax revenue may be available over 20 years through the
TIF program to cover costs that qualify as approved public infrastructure. However,
this participation would be subject to a "net new" cap imposed by the Cabinet for
Economic Development based on an independent consultant's analysis, which will
likely further limit the amount available for reimbursement. Additionally, the net
present value of this $94.8 million is dependent upon many variables in the
tax-exempt financing/ bonding market.
The additional downtown activity, along with the new tax revenue and
approximately 3,000+ jobs and over $781.2 million in wages supported as a result of
the Project's impacts throughout the economy, will be a great benefit to both the
City of Paducah and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
