The creation of the Project Area will not result in additional property taxes and will not create any additional eminent domain power for either the County or the Agency.

A map of the boundaries of the Project Area that is proposed for the project area development is enclosed with this notice. A legal description of the proposed Project Area may be obtained via email at no cost by contacting Stephanie Russell at 801.399.8419.
The Draft Plan and Budget provides, among other things, an evaluation of appropriate land uses and economic and community reinvestment forecasts for the land encompassed by the CRA. The Draft Plan and Budget also sets forth the aims and objectives of the anticipated new development, including its scope, its mechanism, and its value to the residents of Weber County (the “County”) and other taxing districts.
The Agency has requested an estimated $120,225,901 million in property tax revenues that will be generated by development within the Project Area to fund a portion of projects costs within the Project Area. These property tax revenues will be used for the following: mandatory housing allocation as required by statute, payment and reimbursement of infrastructure costs, incentives to developers, Agency administrative expenses, and other expenditures as authorized by law. The following proposed property taxes, if the entities choose to participate, will be taxes levied by the following governmental entities, and, assuming current tax rated, the taxes paid to the Agency for this project area from each taxing entity will be as follows: Weber County - $24,422,360, Weber County School District - $74,277,380, Weber Fire District - $14,427,108, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District - $2,249,605, Warren Water Improvement District - $2,653,726, and West Warren Park District - $2,195,722. All of the property taxes to be paid to the Agency for the development in the Project Area are taxes that will be generated only if the Project Area is developed. All concerned citizens are invited to attend the project area budget hearing as noted above. A copy of the Project Area Budget is available at the Agency offices as described below.
The recipient of this notice, or other interested parties, may submit to the Agency comments concerning subject matter of the hearing before the date of the hearing.
Any person objecting to the proposed Project Area Plan or Project Area Budget or contesting the regularity of any of the proceedings to adopt the Project Area Plan or Project Area Budget may appear before the board at the hearing to show cause why the Project Area Plan or Project Area Budget should not be adopted.
