Anthony Richardson opened the public hearing at 6:14 pm. Joey Grisham
discussed the original Chapter 380 agreement with Zablink Hospitality. Joey
explained the initial agreement included a deferral of roadway impact fees. After
securing a loan in early 2020, the lender immediately rescinded the loan offer
because of COVID 19. Now that the hotel industry is rebounding, Zablink was
able to secure a new loan, but costs rose by over $2 million because of
increased labor and materials costs. Zablink approached the EDC about
assistance and staff recommends a grant of impact fees not to exceed
$208.990.06 should Zablink meet the performance criteria. Staff feels that it is
important to get the city's first hotel up and running to start collecting hotel
occupancy taxes.
Clark McCoy discussed two important sections of the performance agreement
that outline the four conditions required to meet the incentive agreement.
Anthony Richardson closed the public hearing at 6:35 pm.

policy.

options and provided updates on items outlined in the Downtown Master Plan.

County's participation on TIRZ number 6. Several projects are in motion and staff
will continue to update the Board on progress. Mr. Grisham discussed catalyst
areas, fagade improvement grants, challenges with parking, right-of-way
acquisition, plans to upgrade infrastructure, public -private partnerships, and
various financing tools. Mr. Grisham mentioned staff is working with Freese &
Nichols on a plan to update downtown ordinances/zoning and answered Board
questions about the difference between Type A/Type B sales tax structures.

downtown Anna become a unique destination, with policies distinct from other

Carrie Land
City of Anna
III N. Powell Pkwy.
Anna, TX 75409
Dear Carrie:
It is with great thought that I've made the decision to submit my resignation officially
resigning from both the CDC and EDC boards here in the City of Anna effective March
4, 2022. My wife and I have considered many options and will be moving outside of the
Anna city limits which would no longer satisfy the requirement of residing within the
Anna city limits to participate in our boards and commissions.
I would like to thank the City Council for the successive appointments to the various
boards I've served for the past few years. The confidence entrusted to me is much
appreciated. I would like to also thank the professional city staff embodied in that of
Mrs. Carrie Land, Mrs. Taylor Lough, and Mr. Joey Grisham. These staff members along
with the balance of the city staff have been great to work with.
Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues on both the CDC and EDC boards. The
insight, experience, and decision making they've bought to the board has helped shape
may opportunities for quality of life for the residents of the city of Anna. Last but not
least, many thanks to Mr. Clark McCoy for the many years of service and legal expertise
that he's provided to aid us in making the "...best decision today for the future of Anna
tomorrow."
I appreciate the opportunity, but must move on to new phases of life and opportunities.
All the Best, •
Anthony D. Richardson, MPA, MBA

Anna, TX Status Update:
• We are finishing Phase 4 which includes
combining reports and market findings to present
to the EDC.
• We are working to schedule the Recruitment
Workshop (Phase 5), depending on schedules for
the EDC.
• We are gathering comparables (or comps) for
recently sold commercial properties in Anna.

phases Comnletec
Year 1
Phase 1: Critical Path Method (CPM) & Project Kickoff
We will meet with the economic development staff to organize efforts and determine the CPM for future
development in Anna. This step ensures our process remains both efficient and pragmatic.
Phase 2: Data Gathering & Collection
We will start by gathering all the necessary data and facts about the area. This data focuses primarily on
those who frequently shop and eat in the area, not just those who live within the Anna city limits.
Phase 3: Market Analysis & Mobility Assessment
We will use market insights to study the patterns and trends concerning Anna's consumers. With this
information, we can better affect recruitment. This helps us to "zero -in" on prospective business targets.
0r:
pcoming PhasE
Phase 4: Combine Reports & Market Findings
We will create comprehensive reports to better convey what this information means. What good is all of
this useful information if presented in a way that is hard to digest or understand? Simple is better and that's
exactly our approach.
Phase 5: Community Forum & Recruitment Workshop
We will host two separate seminars in Anna where local stakeholders, developers, and businesses all have a
chance to network as well as receive relevant market data. Community buy -in is imperative.
