The property is located within the Border Region Retail Tourism Development District. The "Border Region Act" allows the city to collaborate with private business to create new development within a defined area. If the investment in the new development exceeds $20 million and draws one million customers/ tourists a year, the city would receive 75 percent of the sales tax generated by the new businesses in the development. The sales tax revenue would then be used to repay the borrowed money. That process would be done through a bond issue overseen by the city's Industrial Development Board.
