CITY MANAGER'S AGENDA

April 23, 2019





I. STATE OPPORTUNITY ZONE APPLICATION RENEWAL:

Approval is requested to submit a State Opportunity Zone application

(for renewal) to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The

Georgia Opportunity Zone is a tax credit program sponsored by the Georgia

Department of Community Affairs. This is a program that offers state job tax

credits based on job creation in low-to-moderate income areas. The intent is to

help redevelop blighted areas in older neighborhoods or commercial corridors

and to attract jobs. The original Opportunity Zone was approved in 2015 and

was intended to be renewed in 2025. However, DCA wanted the Opportunity Zone to

run concurrent with the Enterprise Zone, which was extended in 2018; thus, it

had to be renewed much earlier than anticipated.



II. LEASE AGREEMENT - IGNITE PRO HOCKEY:

Approval is requested to enter into a five-year Agreement with Ignite

Pro Hockey, L.L.C. effective May 1, 2019. Ignite Pro Hockey, L.L.C. will have
