MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 19, 2016
TO: ELECTED OFFICIALS
FROM: Mike Malloy, Director of Economic Development
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AGENDA OVERVIEW
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
1. No items are on the agenda that require action. Further, I will not be at the committee
meeting since I am flying to Chicago in the late afternoon of September 21st for the IML
meeting.
2. Director on August 21st represented the City at a property closing whereby MHF
Properties (Jim McKay) purchased city property at 10408 Lincoln Trail to construct a
NAPA Auto Parts store. At present, all trees have been removed from the site and
surveying for building layout has begun.
3. The Perfect Finish expansion at 10610 Lincoln Trail is underway.
4. Properties to be acquired for the Phase I Streetscape project have been identified and
appraised. Pace Properties is cooperating with the City on the placement of trees, light
standards, and directional banners.
5. The City received notification from E/W Gateway that the roundabout for Phase II of the
Streetscape project has been funded.
6. Director served as Emcee and Panel Moderator for the Downstate Alliance ICSC meeting
held on August 25th at the Four Points by Sheraton. Eighty-eight people attended the
meeting.
7. The VFW building and site is under contract and the buyer is currently performing his
due diligence. A strip shopping center is proposed for the property which, in the future,
could expand to the south on the Hollandia Land Trust property.
8. Director continues to work with Parks Director on South Corridor Phase I Trail. Because
of the cooperation of property owners and Caseyville Township concerning Trail
alignment, staff is recommending the City enter into an Engineering contract with TWM
at the September 14th Administration committee meeting which will take the proposed
trail to construction stage. The Trail will connect Moody Park with Old Lincoln Trail.

square feet of the former Hobby Lobby space. Ruler Foods will occupy the balance of the
vacant space.

Sports Authority space in Fairview City Centre.

Heights Plaza shopping center. Part of the purchase terms and conditions will be to place
a tenant in the former Sports Authority space.

placing the City of Fairview Heights name on the mall water tower.

for available spaces in the newly created Ludwig Drive TIF.
