Map and Boundary Description prepared by Gideon Toal, Inc. 5 H. Economic Impact 6 A. Necessary Public/Private Partnerships • Lancaster Corridor Will Require Public/Nvate Partnerships to Develop in a Timely Manncr The demolition of the former 1-30 overhead has repositioned the Lancaster Ave as one of the major urban parkways in Fort Worth and Tarrant County and as one of the primary gateways to Downtown Fort Worth and the Medical District. A repositioned Lancaster Avenue opens the potential of significant redevelopment in the Lancaster Corridor,however the redevelopment of the Lancaster Corridor has many challenges and can be significantly accelerated with the prudent use of public1private partnendiips. Several of the contemplated redevelopment projects in the area will serve as a catalyst for further development in the area The funded Lancaster Avenue roadway and streetscape will be an additional catalyst for further development. LANCASTER STREETSCAPE �1� B. Catalyst Redevelopment Projects Other projects in the redevelopment corridor will have spin-of economic benefits that will facilitate further private investment. FORT WORTH RAMADA HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER revue tw m lip 3 10rk I ij r " ■ya\� r :`"� •r 3 Several significant projects, including local and national historic landmarks are poised to redevelop generating new takes for the local taxing entities and will create economic activity -where it has been dormant for many years.

By the end of 2005, it is estimated that 108,123 square feet of new property developments will become available within the TIF boundary.

Map and Boundary Description prepared by Gideon Toal,Inc. 7 H. Economic Impact 8 A. Necessary Public/Private Partnerships • Lancaster Corridor Will Require Public/Private Partnerships to Develop in a Timely Manner The demolition of the former I-30 overhead has repositioned the Lancaster Ave as one of the major urban parkways in Fort Worth and Tan-ant County and as one of the primary gateways to Downtown Fort Worth and the Medical District. A repositioned Lancaster Avenue opens the potential of significant redevelopment in the Lancaster Corridor,however the redevelopment of the Lancaster Corridor has many challenges and can be significantly accelerated with the prudent use of public/private partnerships. Several of the contemplated redevelopment projects in the area will serve as a catalyst for further development in the area. The funded Lancaster Avenue roadway and streetscape will be an additional catalyst for further development. LANCASTERSTREETSCAPE a - 9 B. Catalyst Redevelopment Projects Other projects in the redevelopment corridor will have spin-off economic benefits that will facilitate further private investment. FORT WORTH RAMADA HOTEL CONVENTION CENTER MWAXI MM lip Several significant projects, including local and national historic landmarks are poised to redevelop generating new taxes for the local taxing entities and will create economic activity where it has been dormant for many years. T&P TERMINAL T&P WAREHOUSE WWII [fill'1114#111 US POST OFFICE A C. Anticipated Economic Activity Attachment A details construction that is projected to occur over the next twenty years. By the end of 2005, it is estimated that 108,123 square feet of new property developments will become available within the TIF boundary. Likewise, by 2023, it is estimated that 4,079,999 square feet of new property development will occur within the TIF boundary. 11 III. Tag Increment Projections Attachment B projects the revenue for the TIF over its 21 year life, assuming a 1.5% annual appreciation of the property within the boundary of the TIF. Additionally, the projects assume new property value resulting from development occurring over the next 21 years. In total, the TIF is projected to have revenue of around $45 million during its lifetime, as shown in Attachment B. 12 IV. Project Costs and Financing The TIF District anticipates the capture of increment from the new development outlined in Attachment A and utilizing those additional funds to leverage selective catalyst projects in the Lancaster Corridor. Projects will qualify for assistance by the use of TIF funds if those projects meet at least one of the criteria outlined below. Qualifying for assistance does not mean that the project will automatically receive TIF assistance. Only projects in which the TIF Board has approved participation by the use of TIF funds through a development agreement will receive assistance. • Mixed-use with a residential component(within a single building) • Full-service hotels • Transit-oriented development or public improvements associated with passenger rail • Board-approved streetscape improvements • Historic preservation or restoration • Mixed-income housing • Board-approved public amenities (for example, public plazas, public art, public parks, or interior restorations to transportation terminal lobbies open to the public) In addition to projects that qualify under the criteria listed above, the following catalyst projects will also qualify for assistance by the use of TIF funds subject to the criteria indicated below: 1. T&P Terminal Building: initial costs of$2.8 million in net present value terms (2003 dollars) for the redevelopment of the T&P Terminal Building (the "T&P Terminal Redevelopment Project").

Such public infrastructure would be paid for or reimbursed from tax increment remaining after satisfaction of any previously-approved contractual commitments in any given year made by the TIF District's board of directors, subject to any restrictions specifically imposed by the participating taxing jurisdictions. 3. Management and Administration Costs: The TIF District's board of directors is authorized to expend up to 5% of annual TIF revenues for management and administrative purposes, which allocation shall have priority over any other TIF project. 4. T&P Warehouse: approximately$9 million for assistance with public infrastructure costs associated with the redevelopment of the T&P Warehouse (the "T&P Warehouse Redevelopment Project") as guided by and subject to provisions contained in a development agreement between the developer and the TIF,payable as a reimbursement following completion. Project costs for the T&P Warehouse Redevelopment Project would include: ■ Environmental remediation and demolition ■ Facade improvements ■ Public streetscape/construction and relocation of utilities ■ Site work on or adjacent to the T&P Warehouse Property ■ Clearing and grading of the T&P Warehouse Property ■ Hardscape and landscape improvements ■ Roof repairs and stabilization of the structure on the roof as necessary to preserve the historic facade of the T&P Warehouse ■ Professional fees directly related to approved project costs ■ Costs of constructing a public plaza ■ Administrative expenses (third party studies, reports, historical review and legal fees directly related to the project costs) ■ Reimbursement of City tap and impact fees ■ Interest on any unpaid balance of the reimbursement. 14 5. Public Infrastructure Associated with Lancaster Avenue Redevelopment: construction and installation of public infrastructure, including street improvements, utility relocations,parking improvements and landscaping of public areas on and adjacent to all portions of Lancaster Avenue that are within the TIF District. Such public infrastructure would be paid for or reimbursed from tax increment remaining after satisfaction of any previously approved contractual commitments in any given year made by the TIF District's board of directors, subject to any restrictions specifically imposed by the participating taxing jurisdictions. 6. Public Art Associated with T&P Terminal Building: design, fabrication and installation of T&P Terminal Waiting Room Commemoration Project.

Any rental residential development, including the residential portion of a mixed-use development, must have a minimum of 15 percent of all units that are quality, accessible, and set aside for low-to-moderate income tenants in order to be eligible to receive TIF support. AnXadditional TIF Project costs would be subject to review and approval by the participating taxing Jurisdictions. Projects that could be subject to additional TIF funding, but subject to review and approval by the participating taxing entities would be the redevelopment of the U.S. Post Office, including street, utility, and landscaping improvements, parking, and fagade preservation. 15 V.
