ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR A GROWING ECONOMY (EDGE) TAX CREDIT PROGRAM CALENDAR YEAR 2014 REPORT The EDGE Tax Credit Program is a targeted tax incentive program that provides tax credits for businesses that create new full-time jobs, retain existing full-time jobs and make capital investments in Illinois. The EDGE Tax Credit Program is designed to help areas of Illinois that are in direct competition with other states for jobs and development. The following report identifies the guidelines and accomplishments of the EDGE Tax Credit Program.

EDGE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS The Illinois Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) Tax Credit Program is intended to help Illinois compete with other states for the location of job creation or retention projects. The Illinois EDGE Tax Credit Program is operated by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Based on a review of a written application submitted by an interested firm, the Department is authorized to designate qualified businesses as “eligible”. Eligible businesses may claim a nonrefundable and non-transferable tax credit against its state income taxes. (The amount of the tax credit is calculated based on the income taxes paid by new employees and the retained employees.) The designation is contingent upon the business undertaking a development project that:

• Involves at least $5 million investment in capital improvements placed in service in Illinois and employs at least 25 New Full-Time Employees within the state as a direct result of the project; or

• Involves at least a $2.5 million investment in capital improvements placed in service in Illinois

and employs at least 50 New Full-Time Employees as a direct result of the project; or

• Involves an investment in a sufficient amount to employ at least 25 New Full-Time Employees, provided the project is located within or serves a distressed area or hires low-income workers; or

• Involves an investment at a level specified by the Department in capital improvements to be

placed in service; employs New Full-Time Employees within the state at a level specified by the Department; and provides substantial economic benefit to the state, as determined by the Department. The Director may approve projects that do not meet the minimum job creation and investment thresholds for an applicant meeting all other requirements in the Act, providing that one or more of the following conditions are met: A) The applicant’s business is located in a distressed community with an unemployment rate

which is higher than the state’s average; or B) The applicant’s business is located in an area with limited economic development

prospects as evidenced by prior and current development activities; or C) Approval would support a business with potential to generate additional growth in the area

and create jobs as a result of spin-off businesses; or D) Approval would avert the loss of one of the area’s major sources of employment.

• Involves a Company with 100 or fewer Full-Time Employees whose investment will be at least

$1,000,000 in capital improvements which will be placed in service at a designated site in Illinois and employ at least 5 New Full-Time Employees at a designated site as a direct result of the project.

COMPETITORS’ TAX CREDIT PROGRAMS Illinois’ primary competitors for business locations and expansions are the bordering states of Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. These states have similarly adopted tax credits as incentives for businesses locating or expanding operations. However, other no-border states have become increasingly aggressive in seeking to relocate business form Illinois as well. The table below shows the similarities of the programs and highlights the advantage of the Illinois EDGE Tax Credit Program. The table illustrates that the EDGE Tax Credit Program is somewhat competitive with those of bordering states Other competing states in which Illinois was chosen as the final project site include the following: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Eli's Cheesecake Company (The) The Eli’s Cheesecake Company needs to expand its facilities due to a growing customer base and increased unit volume that is causing it to reach production capacity. The company will add second, 70 foot tunnel oven which will double the Company’s baking capacity. The second oven also requires increasing the support operations that surround the baking process such as depositing, decorating, cutting, freezing and packaging. Its two options were to expand its existing facility, or to open a second facility. There were complications to a construction project at an operating food production

15

plant due to food safety issues. The out of state option was less expensive and would have eliminated those concerns.
