Information
Attached to this memorandum is a resolution that would grant approval of a Class 6b property tax incentive for CEK
Tile, LLC (aka C.E. Korsgard or CEK) for the property located at 1911 S. Busse Road. The request is for a Class 6b
with special circumstances as the property is being purchased by CEK, but has not been vacant for over 24 months.
The property's close proximity to DuPage County with its lower tax rate qualifies it for the special circumstances
designation. The incentive would be for 12 years and would entice CEK to move its operations from Wood Dale into
this building in Mount Prospect.
The Village has granted several Cook County Class 6b tax incentives to attract and retain businesses. The 6b incentive
reduces the assessment level for qualified manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities from 25% to 10% for
the first 10 years, 15% for year 11 and 20% in year 12. After year 12, the assessment level returns to the full 25%
for the benefiting property. The 6b incentive can also be renewed for additional 12 -year terms if supported by the
Village.
CEK currently employs 10 individuals and would hire an additional 5 employees at their expanded facility over the
coming years. They specialize in the installation of various tile products in both commercial and residential facilities.
Since 1929, the CEKCs name has been synonymous with quality, service, competitive pricing and on-time
performance. A third generation, family-owned business, CEK employs the finest union craftsmen available. They
provide all aspects of flooring demolition removal, underlayment preparation and professional installation.
CEK is requesting the Class 6b abatement to maintain their taxes at around $1.50 per square foot for their property.
If the extension is not granted, they estimate that their tax bill would rise to $3.50 per square foot. Similar properties
in nearby Lake and DuPage County range from $1 to $1.50 per square foot.
