Subject:
Modification of Purchase Agreement for 116 Atwood Street
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution No. E2019-009
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution No. ,E2019-009 Authorizing the Purchase of property located at 116 Atwood Street for the amount of $200,000 and $25,000 in relocation payment.
Discussion:

The EDA previously approved a purchase agreement at $175,000 and $25,000 in relocation costs.  The original appraisal was $172,500.  Since more than six months have passed since the original agreement, the owner requested an updated appraisal.  The estimated value is now $206,000 based on the current market conditions.  The seller has since purchased another property in Shakopee. The seller has agreed at $200,000 for the purchase price with $25,000 in relocation.  This is a similar price that was paid for the adjoin properties.  They will be relocated out of the house by mid-September.

  

Gaughan Companies is in agreement with the increase and will reimburse the EDA once they close on their construction loan.
