The developer, The Beard Group, experienced a dramatic shift in market conditions but • repositioned the project as an apartment development and obtained project financing through the Department of Housing & Urban Development in 2011. The Beard Group experienced an increase in costs associated with the project and has requested an additional $75,000 in the form of a grant. Previously, the HRA approved a $900,000 grant and pledged the tax increment generated from the project.

The majority of the increase is related to increases in construction costs. High gasoline costs coupled with increased prices in the commodity areas (concrete, copper, lumber and drywall) have all been significant contributors to the increase. In addition, just the cost of holding the project (insurance, real estate taxes, maintenance, interest, loan fees) for this extended period contributed to the increase. We have been able to cover the majority of this increase, but a gap of $75,000.00 still exists. Vire respectfully propose to close this gap by requesting an additional $75,000.00 in grant assistance from the City. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Marketplace Holdings, —Inc. William H. Beard, President is 750 2nd Street NE, Suite 100 Hopkins, MN 55343 (952) 930-0630 Fax (952) 930-0631
