Type Action Item
Staff has been working with the development team for Prospect Place to recruit a brewpub
tenant for the first floor commercial space along Prospect Avenue. We have been working
with Robert Salerno, owner of Salerno's Pizza and the Whiskey Hill Brewing Company to
locate both businesses in the western 6,400 square feet of space at the corner of Prospect
Avenue and Wille Street to anchor the Prospect Place commercial space.
Mr. Salerno owns and operates over a dozen restaurants throughout the Chicagoland area
and currently has a Salerno's Pizzeria in the Village at the NE corner of Kensington Road
and Wolf Road. In addition to the pizzerias, he is the owner of several restaurant concepts,
including Salerno's Nautical Playpen, Evviva! Bar and Eatery, R. Urban Wine Bar and Cafe
and Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. The Whiskey Hill concept is a full service restaurant and
taproom with live entertainment.
Mr. Salerno has submitted the attached preliminary floor plan and budget for both
restaurants for review. He is requesting $300,000 from the Village in TIF assistance to
1
cover a portion of the costs to establish the two restaurants. While the request is
significant, recruiting a brewpub use in our downtown district has been a high priority of
the Village Board for the past few years. This proposal would be a significant positive
addition along the Prospect Avenue corridor and would be a big draw for the downtown
area. The addition of the pizzeria and brewpub would continue the significant private
investment that is ongoing in the corridor with the addition of Caputo's Fresh Market, F45
Training and possibly a new restaurant concept and wine bar to the west of Prospect Place.
The cost of equipment and buildout exceed $1.11 million and Mr. Salerno has advised that
without TIF assistance the project will not move forward. The attached RDA authorizes
$300,000 in assistance in two payments: $200,000 upon opening of the restaurants and
$100,000 after one year of continuous operation. If approved, Mr. Salerno is ready to
move forward quickly and plans to be open for business by the 4th quarter of the year.
It should be noted that the two restaurants would generate approximately $100,000
annually to the Village in sales and food and beverage taxes. In addition, the restaurants
would employ approximately 35 staff generating over $1 million in payroll.
Staff has reviewed the petitioner's request and is supportive of the $300,000 TIF
assistance to incentivize Salerno's Pizzeria and Whiskey Hill Brewing Company to locate in
the Prospect Place development.
Alternatives
1. Approve the ordinance authorizing a Redevelopment Agreement for R. Salerno
Restaurant Group D/B/A Salerno's Pizza and Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. at the Prospect Place
development in the Prospect and Main TIF District of the Village of Mount Prospect.
2. At the discretion of the Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board approve the ordinance authorizing a
Redevelopment Agreement for R. Salerno Restaurant Group D/B/A Salerno's Pizza and
Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. at the Prospect Place development in the Prospect and Main TIF
District of the Village of Mount Prospect.

PROSPECT AND MAIN TIF DISTRICT OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT,
ILLINOIS
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Mayor and Board of Trustees of
the Village of Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1: The Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village find as follows:
A. The Village of Mount Prospect ("Village") is a home rule municipality
pursuant to Section 6 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Illinois.
B. The Village is authorized under the provisions of the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1, et seq., as amended
(the "Act"), to finance redevelopment in accordance with the conditions
and requirements set forth in the Act.
C. Pursuant to Ordinance Numbers 6293, 6294 and 6295, adopted January
17, 2017, the Village designated the tax increment redevelopment project
area ("Redevelopment Project Area"), approved a tax increment 2
redevelopment plan and project ("TIF Plan"), and adopted tax increment
financing relative to the Village's Prospect and Main Tax Increment
Financing District ("TIF District"); said TIF District being legally described
and depicted as set forth in EXHIBIT A-1 and EXHIBIT A-2, respectively,
attached hereto and made part hereof.
D. The R. Salerno Restaurant Group (the "Developer") seeks to establish the
Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. and Salerno Pizzeria restaurants in 6,400 square
feet of retail space on the first floor of the Prospect Place mixed-use building
("the Project") under construction at Main Street and Prospect Avenue in
downtown Mount Prospect ("the Business Location"). Developer will invest
One Million One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars in the Project. It is
necessary for the successful completion of the Project that the Village enter
into this Agreement with the Developer to provide for the redevelopment of
the Property, thereby implementing the TIF Plan.
E. The Developer has been and continues to be unable and unwilling to
undertake the Project, but for certain tax increment financing ("TIF")
incentives, with regard to the purchase price of brewing equipment and for
the construction of the Whiskey Hill Brewing Co. and Salerno Pizzeria
restaurants at the Business Location, not to exceed Three hundred
49
Thousand and No/100 dollars ($300,000.00), to be provided by the Village
in accordance with the Act and the home rule powers of the Village, which
the Village is willing to provide under the terms and conditions contained
herein. The Parties acknowledge and agree that but for the
aforementioned TIF incentives, to be provided by the Village, Developer
cannot successfully and economically develop the Project in a manner
satisfactory to the Village. The Village has determined that it is desirable
and in the Village's best interest to assist Developer in the manner set forth
herein, and as this Agreement may be supplemented and amended from
time to time pursuant to the mutual agreement of the Parties and in the
manner as herein provided.
F. This Agreement has been submitted to the Corporate Authorities of the
Village for consideration and review, the Corporate Authorities have taken
all actions required to be taken prior to the execution of this Agreement in
order to make the same, and any and all actions taken by the Village in
furtherance hereof, binding upon the Village according to the terms hereof,
and any and all actions of the Corporate Authorities of the Village precedent
to the execution of this Agreement have been undertaken and performed in
the manner required by law.
G. This Agreement has been submitted to the Developer for consideration and
review, the Developer has taken all actions required to be taken prior to the
execution of this Agreement in order to make the same binding upon the
Developer according to the terms hereof, and any and all action of the
Developer precedent to the execution of this Agreement has been
undertaken and performed in the manner required by law.
H. It is the desire of the Village to approve the "Redevelopment Agreement for
the Whiskey Hill Brewing Co" at Prospect Place Development comprising a
part of the Prospect and Main TIF District of the Village of Mount Prospect,
Illinois," attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and made part hereof.
SECTION 2: Based upon the foregoing, the Village Mayor, Village Clerk and
Village Manager, or their designees, be and are hereby authorized and directed to
execute the attached Redevelopment Agreement and perform the Village's obligations
thereunder.
SECTION 3: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, approval and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.
