The issue before Council was Resolution 2026-7, which would authorize the Mayor to enter into a Joint Economic Development District, also known as a JEDD, contract between Olmsted Township and the City of North Olmsted. Mayor Jones explained the purpose of JEDDs in Ohio, and outlined the proposed Olmsted Town Center development, which would include a Sheetz, McDonald's, Aldi, and 56 residential condos. She presented projected income tax revenues for the City and clarified that residents of the district would not receive the full tax credit, which are currently enjoyed by North Olmsted residents. The City would receive 25% of the JEDD's income tax revenue and share 25% of the operational risks.
