Dear William:
Avery Dennison Corporation (the "Applicant") and its assigns, is the owner of the above -referenced
property (the "Subject Property"), and is requesting a Resolution from the Village of Mount Prospect
supporting and consenting to a Class 6b Tax Incentive for the Subject Property based on New Construction
& Substantial Rehabilitation.
The Subject Property currently consists of a 36 year-old industrial building that is approximately
49,853 square feet, sited on approximately 158,936 square feet of land. Avery Dennison Corporation (the
"Occupant") currently occupies the Subject Property, and uses the site for its growing manufacturing, testing,
and engineering business of signature reflective sheeting products. Specifically, the Occupant manufactures
retroreflective sheeting using various machine processes. The material is then inspected for defects, and
shipped to a plant that will cut the material for the right width and length for its ultimate use. The Applicant
plans to renovate 8,175 square feet of the existing structure and construct a 13,825 square foot addition
thereby converting Subject Property into a larger facility than currently used by the Occupant which will
allow it to continue its growth and to hire additional employees as it expands its operations.
Background of the Occupant
For nearly one hundred years, Avery Dennison Corporation has been making highway and street
safety solutions with bright prismatic signs, pioneering the way of innovative traffic safety. It is one of the
preferred suppliers to professional sign shops worldwide while servicing the traffic safety market with one of
the industry's most comprehensive range of reflective sheeting. The company has a rich history in the early
development of America's infrastructure. Between the 1920s and 1930s, the company developed the first
patents for full cube -corner reflectors for use in autornobiles and signs. This led to the first installment of
glass prismatic elements into the standard use wooden signs. Ford Motors even incorporated the Stimsonite
prismatic tail light lenses into its Model A automobile.
In the latter half of the twentieth century, the company continued to expand its operations to keep up
with the modernization of America's automobile related infrastructure. The company's "button" reflective
units became widely used on highway signs. It also produced the first engineer -grade beaded sheeting, and
It
THE JAW OFFICES OF
LiSTON & TSANTILIS
developed the Stimsonite 4200, which was the first omnidirectional prismatic material for permanent traffic
signage.
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Avery Dennison and Stimsonite merged operations,
combining glass -bead and prismatic technologies. In the past decade, the company has introduced the
TrafficJet Print System, which is specification -compliant and a leader in digital traffic sign printing for the
traffic industry. Additionally, the company launched its VisiPlex prismatic vinyl sheeting for the production
of emergency vehicle graphics. Avery Dennison plans to further innovate in its industry by acquiring and
expanding the Subject Property.
Occupant's Benefit to the Community at Lame
For more than 70 years, Avery Dennison has pioneered the development and application of
retroreflective technology on a wide range of safety devices worldwide from its three manufacturing plants
in the Chicagoland area. It is only one of three major US companies with this technology and manufacturing
capability, serving first responders who rely daily on reflective sheeting and tape to ensure their safety during
their service. One of the core mission of the company is to develop products that will continuously strive to
reduce the number car -related fatalities (which total about 36,000 per year). The company works in tandem
with local transportation agencies and public works departments to achieve this ambitious objective.
During the COVID- 19 Pandemic, Avery Dennison's products became more critical as local
government agencies incorporated reflective sheeting and signs to be used for temporary detours and drive-
thru testing facilities. The company's manufacturing operations will continue to meet the current crisis and
those in the future. Specifically, reflective tapes used on long-haul freight and local delivery fleets have a
proven record of significantly reducing railroad and trucking accidents, leading to the uninterrupted flow of
goods and services, such as food, essential healthcare products, medical and pharmaceutical products, and
logistics and supply chain services and products.
Also, its high -visibility vehicle markings are an integral part of emergency fleets around the world,
including police vehicles, fire trucks, and ambulances. Because these emergency response vehicles are often
in unexpected places at any time of the day or night, visibility is a crucial factor to facilitate their prompt
response. Avery Dennison is also the primary supplier of the translucent reflective signage product used on
nearly every commercial airport in the US, which in turn maintains the integrity of this supply chain to
ensure the safety of air travel.
Moreover, the company's license plate material, which incorporates a variety of mandated security
features, plays an important role in enabling government agencies around the world to regulate the legal
renewal of existing fleets, and licensing of new ones, while preserving law and order by avoiding unforeseen
incidents of theft and misuse.
Subiect Property Improvements and Job Creation
The Subject Property currently operates as the global headquarters of Avery Dennison Corporation.
In the event that a Class 6b Tax Incentive is granted, the Applicant plans to spend approximately $3,407,900
to make various improvements, of which $2,586,200 will be spent to construct the new 13,825 square foot
addition to the Subject Property to accommodate the Occupant's expansion.
Once improvements are finished, the Occupant plans to occupy the entire Subject Property. The
Occupant currently employs 66 full-time employees, including 40 in Cook County at the Subject Property. In
the event the Class 6b Tax Incentive is granted, the Occupant plans to hire thirty-three (33) new employees
THE LAW OFFICES OF
LISTON & TSANTILIS
over the course of the incentive, and will look to qualified Mount Prospect residents for its hiring. The
Occupant employs workers with a high technological skill set, and compensates them well above the
requirements of the Living Wage Ordinance, with wages in the range of $25-$30 per hour. Also, the newly
constructed addition will result in approximately twenty-five to fifty (25-50) temporary construction jobs.
Real Estate Tax and Economic Analysis
After the completion of the scheduled new construction, the Subject Property is projected to have a
market value of approximately $6,486,196, which would generate an estimated $4,702,686 in total taxes over
the life of the Class 6b Tax Incentive (approximately $391,891 per year). Without the incentive and at full
vacancy, the Subject Property would generate a total of only $1,539,060 in total taxes (approximately
$128,255 per year) over the life of the incentive. Therefore, should the Class 6b Tax Incentive be approved,
the Subject Property would generate an additional $3,163,626 in real estate taxes over the life of the Class 6b
Tax Incentive. Please see the attached "12 Year Tax Comparison Chart" for more details.
In addition to increased property tax revenues, the expansion of the Occupant's operation at the
Subject Property will significantly benefit the Village's community and economy. The Occupant's
employees will frequent Village restaurants, gas stations, stores, and more. The Occupant's eventual 73
employees are projected to contribute an additional $309,338 per year to the Village's economy. Please see
the attached "Employee Economic Impact Estimate."
"But -For" Condition Statement
Without the assistance from the Class 6b Tax Incentive, the Applicant will not construct the new
addition, nor rehabilitate the existing structure. The Applicant has determined that the without the incentive,
the heavy Cook County property tax burden will not make the project feasible. Furthermore, without the
Class 6b Tax Incentive, the Occupant will not renew its lease in 2022; the increased lease rate due to the high
property taxes will require it to bring its operations to a neighboring county, state, or community. In the
event the Occupant does not renew its lease, the Subject Property will become vacant and unused, thereby
lowering its total taxes. This would not only affect the total revenue that the property will generate, but it will
result in a very established, reputable company with high quality jobs to leave the Village and continue its
operations outside of Cook County.
Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, the Applicant requests that the Village of Mount Prospect review its Class 6b
Tax Incentive request and approve a Resolution supporting and consenting to a Class 6b Tax Incentive for
the Subject Property based on New Construction & Substantial Rehabilitation. Should you need any
additional documentation or have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at (312) 604-3898

The Subject Property currently operates as the global headquarters of Avery Dennison
Corporation. In the event that a Class 6b Tax Incentive is granted, the Applicant plans to spend
approximately $3,407,900 to make various improvements, of which $2,586,200 will be spent to
construct the new 13,825 square foot addition to the Subject Property to accommodate the
Occupant's expansion.
Once improvements are finished, the Occupant plans to occupy the entire Subject
Property. The Occupant currently employs 66 full-time employees, including 40 in Cook County
at the Subject Property. In the event the Class 6b Tax Incentive is granted, the Occupant plans to
hire thirty-three (33) new employees over the course of the incentive, and will look to qualified
Mount Prospect residents for its hiring. The Occupant employs workers with a high
technological skill set, and compensates them well above the requirements of the Living Wage
Ordinance, with wages in the range of $25-$30 per hour. Also, the newly constructed addition
will result in approximately twenty-five to fifty (25-50) temporary construction jobs.
In addition to increased property tax revenues, the expansion of the Occupant's operation
at the Subject Property will significantly benefit the Village's community and economy. The
Occupant's employees will frequent Village restaurants, gas stations, stores, and more. The
Occupant's eventual 73 employees are projected to contribute an additional $309,338 per year to
the Village's economy.

Avery Dennison Corporation (the "Applicant") and its assigns, is the owner of the above -
referenced property (the "Subject Property"), and is requesting a Resolution from the Village of Mount
Prospect supporting and consenting to a Class 6b Tax Incentive for the Subject Property based on New
Construction & Substantial Rehabilitation.
The Subject Property currently consists of a 36 year-old industrial building that is approximately
49,853 square feet, sited on approximately 158,936 square feet of land. Avery Dennison Corporation (the
"Occupant") currently occupies the Subject Property, and uses the site for its growing manufacturing,
testing, and engineering business of signature reflective sheeting products. Specifically, the Occupant
manufactures retroreflective sheeting using various machine processes. The material is then inspected for
defects, and shipped to a plant that will cut the material for the right width and length for its ultimate use.
The Applicant plans to renovate 8,175 square feet of the existing structure and construct a 13,825 square
foot addition thereby converting Subject Property into a larger facility than currently used by the
Occupant which will allow it to continue its growth and to hire additional employees as it expands its
operations.
After the completion of the scheduled new construction, the Subject Property is projected to have
a market value of approximately $6,486,196, which would generate an estimated $4,702,686 in total taxes
over the life of the Class 6b Tax Incentive (approximately $391,891 per year). Without the incentive and
at full vacancy, the Subject Property would generate a total of only $1,539,060 in total taxes
(approximately $128,255 per year) over the life of the incentive. Therefore, should the Class 6b Tax
Incentive be approved, the Subject Property would generate an additional $3,163,626 in real estate taxes
over the life of the Class 6b Tax Incentive. Please see the attached "12 Year Tax Comparison Chart" for
more details.
Without the assistance from the Class 6b Tax Incentive, the Applicant will not construct the new
addition, nor rehabilitate the existing structure. The Applicant has determined that the without the
incentive, the heavy Cook County property tax burden will not make the project feasible. Furthermore,
without the Class 6b Tax Incentive, the Occupant will not renew its lease in 2022; the increased lease rate
due to the high property taxes will require it to bring its operations to a neighboring county, state, or
community. In the event the Occupant does not renew its lease, the Subject Property will become vacant
and unused, thereby lowering its total taxes. This would not only affect the total revenue that the property
will generate, but it will result in a very established, reputable company with high quality jobs to leave the
Village and continue its operations outside of Cook County.
In addition to increased property tax revenues, the expansion of the Occupant's operation at the
Subject Property will significantly benefit the Village's community and economy. The Occupant's
employees will frequent Village restaurants, gas stations, stores, and more. The Occupant's eventual 73
employees are projected to contribute an additional $309,338 per year to the Village's economy. Please
see the attached "Employee Economic Impact Estimate."
