I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Canton was incorporated in 1937. Almost from its incorporation,
the manufacturing of plows has been one of the greatest industrial enterprises
in the Canton area. That industry was founded by William Parlin. He came to
Canton in 1840 with twenty-five cents in his pocket, three hammers and a leather
apron. Mr: Parlin also ahd skill and ingenuity and he worked until he had made
a steel mold board plow that was self-scouring, to take the place of the old
wooden irold board plows htat had to be cleaned. That invention marked a new
era in platy making.
Mr. Parlin's factory began at the corner of Elm Street and Fourth Avenue in
the City, the same area which now makes up the northwest corner of the present
___ factory. In 1852 the business had increased to such an extent that Mr. Parlin
took in his brother-in-law, William Orendorff, as a partner. `Ihe factory caire
to be known world-wide as the P & O Platy Works.
On July 1, 1919, the P & O Platy Works was sold to the International Harvester
Company and has come to be known as the International Harvester Company's Canton
Plant. The Plant grew until it employed approximately 2,250 employees in the
late 1970's. Today, the Plant employes about 100 workers and, by the end of
October, 1983, plans to employ only 20 employees.
Substantially all of the buildings located on the 36-acre Plant site were
built prior to World War II, with may of the buildings having been built at or
before the turn of the century. As manufacturing operations at the Plant decreas-
ed and job-loss increased, use of the various structures in the Plant diminished
sharply. Moreover, the Plant is now virtually devoid of manufacturing machinery
and equipment, the bulk of the more modern machinery and equipment, together
with the product lines they produced, having been moved to Canada or the Illinois-
Icnaa border area.
Although the Plant and its surrounding area comprise an industrial zone
according of the City's Ccsnprehensive Plan and its Zoning Ordinance, there are
many substandard residential structures to the west of the Plant and a ccenbina-
tion of substandard residential structures, abandoned buildings and vacant lots
fronting the railroad tracks to the east of the Plant. Moreover, the industrial
concerns to the west of the Plant suffer from poor urban planning, which has re-
sulted in inadequate parking and hazardous traffic patterns. Other safety hazards
are posed by the unprotected railroad crossings to the south and east of the
Plant, the unpaved roadways in the area, and the absence of a direct thorough-
fare for emergency vehicles on an east-west route through the area.
Continual deterioration of the area has contributed to a decline in assessed
valuation with a consequent loss of revenue from real estate taxation; moreover
the loss of jobs which has accompanied the deterioration has prompted an exodus
of families from the City and caused a depression in the residential real estate
market with a consequent loss of revenue from real estate taxation.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT' AREA
The proposed Redevelopment Project Area is located in the industrial
central portion of the City. The Northwest corner of the proposed Redevelop-
ment Project Area and a portion of the West boundary would be adjacent to
existing City of Canton Tax Increment Area Number One. The proposed Redevelop-
ment Project Area generally lies between Elm Street on the North, Second Avenue
on the West, the T. P. & W. Railroad's main line on the South, and the Burling-
ton Northern Railroad's main line on the East. Some portions of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area lie outside of the area indicated. Maps showing,
respectively, the Area itself and the location of the Area within the City are
made a part of this Plan as Maps #1 and #2. A legal description of the Area is
made part of this Plan as Exhibit "A".
The Redevelopment Project Area consists of 36+ acres. Virtually all build-
ings on the site were ccHnpleted prior to World War II; a substantial part of
those buildings date to-the turn of the century.
As to the farm implements plant,
there is approximately square feet of useable
floor space in the existing plant. Many upper floors of the various buildings
are not safe to use and, accordingly, .are used sparingly or not at all. The
plant is powered and heated by a coal fired paver plant which is not suitable
for supplying power and heat to only a portion of the plant. -Plant utilities
are mostly underground with little cc~nprehensice thought having been given to
plant expansion or to partial use of the greater facility.
Access is gained to the plant by gates located on the East, North, and
West sides of the plant. Access for heavy trucks is had by way of South
Second Avenue, South Fourth Avenue, and East Elm .Street.- None of those streets
are designed to support today's heavy truck traffic. Access for police, fire,
rescue and other emergency vehicles is not in keeping with the needs of a plant
of this size.
The valuation of the plant for tax purposes has been falling over recent
years. The five preceeding years' history of tax valuations for the plant is
set forth in Exhibit "B". The condition of the property has an adverse effect
on the real estate tax assessment base which has been declining. The downward
trend in the tax base is evidenced as set forth in Exhibit "B".

UNDER THE ACT
THE PF~PUSID REDEVEIIJPMIIVT PRQ7E~.P AREA QUALIFIES AS A BLIGHTID AREA
According to an inspection of the proposed Redevelopment Project Area by
the City Engineer, and architects engaged by the City, the area qualifies as a
blighted area under the Illinois Real Property Tax Increment Allocation Redevel-
opment Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Act"). The Act requires that at
least 5 blighting conditions exist. The engineer`s and architect's views indi-
cate nine such conditions, the combination of which is detrimental to the public
health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Canton.
A. Abe
The majority of the structures in the Area, and virtually all of the struc-
tures in the Plant, ire built more than 35 years ago. Many of the structures
in the area date from between the turn of the century and the 1930's.
B. Dilapidation
The masonry walls of several of the brick Plant structures are cracked, lack-
ing mortar, and otherwise in disrepair. The metal structures in the Plant have
torn, bent or broken-through panels. The metal fencing, particularly on the
west side of the Plant, is twisted. There are many broken windows in the Plant
structures, particularly on the upper floors of the multi-story buildings, and
parts of the wooden floors are missing. Several parking lots and storage areas
are poorly surfaced.
Many of the structures used as residences are beyond economical repair, an
eyesore and a safety hazard. Frame buildings are badly weathered; block and
brick buildings exhivit cracks and missing mortar. Foundations are cracked,
causing the buildings to sag; porches are rotted and collapsing; roofs are sagg-
ing, shingles are rotting, and gutters and downspouts are missing.
C. Obsolescence
Most of the structures in the Plant are no longer usable under current indust-
rial standards. The upper floors of the multi-storied buildings have no useful-
ness, not even for storage, because of the water damage caused by the many broken
windows, the obsolete elevator systems and the interior layout in which free
movement of stored goods is obstructed. Lower floors of the Plant are of limited
usefulness because they can be reached only by tow motor trucks or hydraulic
lift trucks, and not by comiron highway trucks. Many of the structures are large,
and cannot efficiently be used on a partially shut-down basis because of their
central heating systems.
Another cormiercial use in the area is located on two sides of a street, which
encourages continual cross-street truck traffic.
The residential structures in the area are, for the most part, unsuitable
for habitation.
D. Deterioration
The broken windows in the upper stories of the Plant structures have allowed
water to enter and to deteriorate the flooring and walls. Exterior masonry
walls are cracked and require mortar. The plumbing system serving the Plant
has deteriorated beyond repair. There are an excessive number of underground
water lines; leaks have been frequent in the past several years and the source
of many has been impossible to detect. The water tower continues to leak and
attempts to repair it have been unsuccessful. Parking and outdoor storage lots
are unevenly surfaced, and the surfacing is degenerating.
Several structures which serve other industrial concerns in the Area
likewise show cracked exterior walls or corroding metal panels.
The majority of the residential structures in the Area have suffered, with
the passing of time, cracked foundations, cracked brick walls or rotting wooden
siding, degenerated roofs, and rotting porches.
E. Presence of Structures Belaw Ptinimum Code.
The Plant's plumbing, ventilation, ,cooling and electrical lighting systems
do not meet minimum Code standards, and there is no sprinkler system. The
majority of the residential structures do not meet minimum Code standards.
F. Lack of Ventilation, Light and Sanitary Facilities
Lighting of the Plant structures is inadequate and both the lighting and
the electrical wiring require replacment. Floors above ground level lack adequate
ventilation; there are no cooling systems serving the manufacturing facilities
in the Plant. Sanitary facilities are below minimum Code standards and are
obsolete.
G. Inadequate. Utilities
The excessive number of water mains serving the Plant, their age and the
experience that leaks either cannot be located or cannot be stopped even if
located evidence a need for substantial overhaul of the water system. Moreover,
while the water tower serving the Plant should be an asset, it has proven a
liability because of continual leaking problems.
H. Deleterious Land Use or Layout
Even though the Area is substantially conterminous with industrial zones
identified by the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, there are many
residential structures, some of which have been abandoned, and there are many
small vacant lots. Both are deleterious uses in an industrial area.
I. Lack of Community Planning
The various structures in the Plant were built as needed, without overall
planning. The entrances are not located where they would best be served by
roads; the interior design of the Plant is inefficient; and the overall
aesthetic appearance of the Plant is very poor. The commercial enterprise
whose facility is divided by a street suffers from the need to send its trucks
across a public road, and a safety hazard is created for motorists and pedes-
trians. There is no east-west thoroughfare for emergency vehicles in the Area.
There are numerous railroad crossings in the east and south parts of the Area
which pose safety hazards. P~oreover, the location of residences fronting a
_._ railroad line in the east part of the Area, and fronting Plant parking and
storage lots and a loading dock in the west part of the Area is not conducive
to the physical maintenance of these residences or to the safety of their
inhabitants.
IV. CITY OF CAIv'TON RIDEVIIIJPNIECd'T PL.~'
The City has general economic goals for its downtown industrial area.
The City's central goals are to retain its existing industrial base and to
stimulate expansion of that base. By meeting these goals, the City will achieve
important social objectives such as protecting existing jobs for its residents
and encouraging the creation of new jobs; will achieve important economic
objectives such as stimulating its commercial economy; and will maintain its
ability to achieve public service goals which cannot be met unless the erosion
of its tax base is halted.
To accomplish these city-wide goals the City and the private sector are
to take specific measures in respect to the Redevelopment Project Area to:
1. Eliminate those conditions which qualify the Redevelopment Project
~~~ Area as a blighted area.
2. Prevent the recurrence of blighting conditions and preserve and
enhance the value of property within and without the Redevelopment
Project Area.
3. Enhance the tax base of the City of Canton and other taxing districts
which extend into the Redevelopment Project Area by encouraging pri-
vate investment and redevelopment in the Redevelopment Project Area.
Among the measures which the City is empowered to take under the Real
Property Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act are:
1. To acquire, own, convey, lease, mortgage or dispose of real or
personal property, or rights therein; to grant or acquire licenses,
easements and options with respect thereto.
2. Within the area, to clear any area acquired, by demolition or re-
moval of existing buildings and structures.
3. Within the area, to renovate, rehabilitate or reconstruct any
structure or building; and, to make for or non-interest bearing
loans for such purposes.
4. Within the area, to install, repair, construct, reconstruct, or
relocate streets, utilities and site improvements.
5. Within the area, to do all other things authorized by law and
the Act.
The specific measures to be undertaken consist of both public and private
expenditures. As set forth in the proposed Redevelopment Project the City will
assemble proeprty for sale to private developers and improve streets and rail-
road crossings providing access to and within the site in return for the devel-
opers' co~nitment to rehabilitate the site as an industrial complex. It is
anticipated that the street and railroad crossing improvements will improve
fire protection coverage for the Redevelopment Project Area and surrounding
areas.
-~ -
V. RIDb'VIIIJPT~1r,'N:' PR~ECZ'
The Redevelopment Project, which is in conformity with the City's Compre-
hensive Plan for Land Use, consists of both public improvements and private
sector develo~xnent.
A. Public Improvements
The City proposes to make the following public improvements. In the absence
of these public improvements, there will not be growth and development in the
Project Area.
1. The existing railroad crossing in the vicinity of South Second Avenue
and the T.P. & W. Railroad Company's main track will be improved and signalized
in conformity with Interstate Commerce Commission requirements; the City will
be obligated to pay approximately 50 of that cost. The existing railroad cross-
ings in the vicinity of South Fourth Avenue and the T.P. & W. Railroad Company's
main track and the Burlington Northern Railroad Company's main track will be
improved in conformity with Interstate Commerce Commission requirements; the
City will be obligated to pay approximately 5~ of that cost.
2. Public roads, streets and ways bordering and within the Area will have
new bases installed, as required, and will be widened and surfaced to accomodate
the heavy truck traffic in the Area. No streets or roads which are currently
vacated will be opened to the public unless in conformity with the City's Ccxm-
prehensive Plan for Land Use.
3. Accessing within the-Area will be improved and enlarged in conformity
with the needs of the City and the developer. Increased emergency vehicle
service to the general public is expected to result from any such expansion.
~pansion may include unconvential transportation facilities such as a helipad
or rail access.
4. Improvements to the public utility system at the points of delivery
to the Area are expected to be consolidated and improved. Sewer and water
services are examples of such utilities.
The specifications for the public improvements described above are subject
to such revisions as shall be necessary in connection with the development of
final engineering plans and drawings and the redevelo~ar~ent agreements into
which the City proposes to enter.
B. Renovation and Rehabilitation
The City proposes to make expenditures to renovate and rehabilitate the
existing structures located within the Redevelopment Project Area to the
extent, and only iri the event, that sufficient tax increment revenues are
available for such use following the completion of the public improvements
described above.
C. Private Section Redevelopment Project
Pending execution of redevelopment agreements, the City proposes to
assemble real and personal property for sale to private developers and may
clear portions of the Area prior to the sale. Under the proposed redevelopment
agreements, existing structures in the Area will be cleared or rehabilitated,
and new structures may be built, all with the objective of creating the area
a modernized industrial complex.
The specifications for the private sector rehabilitation and redevelopment
described above are subject to such revision as shall be necessary i.n connection
with the development of final architectural and engineering plans and drawings
and the redevelopment agreements into which the City proposes to enter.
The Project will accomplish the goals and objectives of the City's Redevel-
opment Plan for its central industrial area. As a condition to the City's per-
formance, the City proposes to enter into redevelopment agreements with the
developer or developers for the redevelopment of the Redevelopment Project Area
containing appropriate safeguards and protections of the City's interests.
Without adoption of this Plan and Project, it could not reasonably be
anticipated that the Redevelopment Project Area would be developed.
VI. ESTIMATED RIDEVEUJPMQV~.P PROJECT COSTS
Redevelopment Project costs mean and include the sum of all reasonalbe or
necessary costs incurred or estimated to be incurred and any such costs incident-
al to a Redevelopment Plan and a Redevelopment Project. Such costs in the case
of the City of Canton Redevelopment Project include without limitation the
following:
1. Costs of studies and surveys, plans, and specifications, professional
service costs including but not limited to architectural, engineering,
legal, marketing, financial, planning and special services;
2. Property assembly costs, including but not limited to acquisition of
land and other property, real or personal, or rights or interests
therein, demolition of buildings, and the clearing and grading of land;
3. Costs of the construction of public works or improvements;
4. Costs of rehabilitation, reconstruction or repair or remodeling of
existing buildings and fixtures;
5. Financing costs, including but not limited to all necessary and incident-
al expenses related to the issuance of obligations and which may include
payment of interest on any obligations issued hereunder accruing during
the estimated period of construction of any redevelopment project for
which such obligations are issued and for not exceeding 18 months there-
after and including reasonable reserves related thereto;
Estimated costs are set forth in Table I.
vII. SOURCES OF FUNDS TO PAY THE REDEVELOPMENT PST COSTS
Funds necessary to pay the Redevelopment Project costs will be derived
from a number of sources. Among these are tax increm~t revenues, proceeds
from the sale to developers of real property which the City acquires pursuant
to the Redevelopment Project, and proceeds from low-interest development loans
frcan governmental authorities and cam<rnuzity public-interest groups.
The tax increment revenues which will be used to pay Redevelopment Project
costs shall be the incremental taxes attributable to the increase in the current
equalized assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract or parcel of real
property in the Redevelopment Area over and above the initial equalized assessed
value of each such property in the Redevelopment Area.
Other possible sources of funds available to pay Redevelopment Project
costs are City revenues from any other taxes which the City may be permitted
fran time to time to levy and collect. If the City is eligible, it may obtain
grants from federal, state and local authorities. Further, the City will re-
cieve interest as development loans are repaid and have the interest available
as a further revenue source.
Moreover, the City may use proceeds from municipal obligations which have
as a revenue source tax increment revenues.
In the event that adequate funds are not available from the aforementioned
sources, the City may use the powers it has under the Act andany other law to
raise revenue or utilize other funds it has to pay Redevelopment Project costs
or obligations issued in connection herewith. If tax or other revenues or
funds other than incremental revenues are utilized, reimbursement may be made
when revenues become available from tax increment financing.
VIII. NATURE AND TERM OF OBLIGATIONS 'Il7 BE ISSUID
The City may issue obligations secured by the tax increment special tax
allocation fund pursuant to Section 11-74.4-7 of the Act.
The City may, by ordinance, in addition to obligations secured by the
special tax allocation fund, pledge pursuant to the Act for a period not greater
than the term of the obligations issued to pay redevelopment costs towards
payment of such obligations any part or any combination of the following:
1.- Net revenues of all of part of any redevelopment project;
2. Taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the City;
-~- 3. The full faith and credit of the City;
4. A mortgage on part or all of the redevelopment project; or
5. Any other taxes or anticipated receipts that the municipality
may lawfully pledge.
If such obligations are secured by the full faith and credit of the City, the
ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide for the levy and collection
of a direct annual tax upon all taxable property within the City sufficient
to pay the principal of and interest on the obligations as they mature. Such
levy may be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes
authorized to be levied by the City, which levy, however, shall be abated to
th- extent that monies from other sources are available for payment of the
obligations and the City certifies the amount of said monies available to the
County Clerk.
Obligations issued by the City pursuant to this Plan and the Act shall be
retired not more than twenty-three (23) years from the adoption of the ordinance
approving the Redevelopment Project Area, such ultimate retirement date occurr-
ing in the year 2006. In any event, the final maturity date of any such obliga-
tions which are issued may not be later than twenty (20) years from their resp-
ective dates. One or more series of obligations may be sold at one or more
times in order to implement this Plan, as it may be amended in the future. The
amounts payable in any year as principal of and interest on all obligations
issued by the City pursuant to this Plan and the Act shall not exceed the amounts
available, or projected to be available, from tax increment revenues and from
such bond sinking funds, capitalized interest funds, debt service reserve funds
and other sources of funds as may be provided by ordinance. The aggregate
principal amount of obligations which may be issued by the City pursuant to
this Plan and the Act shall not exceed the total amount of the Redevelotxnent
Project Costs, as defined in the Act, for the Redevelopment Project Area, as
the same may from time to time be amended.
Revenues shall be used for the scheduled and/or early retirement of
obligations, for reserves, sinking funds, and Redevelopment Project Costs and,
to the extnet not used for such purposes, may be declared surplus and shall then
become available for distribution annually to taxing districts in the Redevelop-
ment Project Area in the manner provided by the Act.
IX. ACTUAL AND PROJECI'E~D EQUALIZID ASSESSID VALUATIONS
The last current equalized assessed valuation for real property in the
Redevelopment Project Area is $
Upon completion of the anticipated private development it is estimated
that the equalized assessed valuation of the real property including improve-
ments within the Redevelopment Project Area will be at least $
X. COMPLETION OF RIDE~TETJJPMIIVT P1~7FC.T
The estimated date for completion of the Redevelopment Project is not
