In December 2016, the OPWA created the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in the downtown
Owasso Redbud District area. On April 4, 2017, the OPWA adopted a Policy Guide for the
processing of TIF Assistance in Development Financing applications.
The Policy Guide includes the process for application and approval of Small Business
Enhancements. Beginning July 1, 2019, Small Business Enhancements were made avallable to any
retail, restaurant, or personal service small business within the Increment District proposing to
enhance the exterior of the structure in which the business is located, provide streetscape
improvements, enhance signage or access, or otherwise improve the appearance of the exterior
of the business. The plan requires a Review Committee to evaluate the application for
compatibility with the Project Plan and the Downtown Overlay District Plan. Upon
recommendation by the Review Committee, a business enhancement agreement is presented
to the OPWA for consideration and approval.
APPLICATION.
In July 2026, Top Shelf Hobbies submitted an application for assistance with signage at a property
located at 119 S Main Street. The applicant hopes to improve customer visibility and traffic,
resulting in more customer engagement.
The project appears to meet the criteria set forth in the adopted Owasso Redbud District TIF
Project Plan and Policy Guide. As established by the Project Plan and Policy Guide, the applicant
would be eligible to receive reimbursement by the OPWA at the completion of the approved
improvements for 50% of the actual amount expended; however, the amount of reimbursement
shall not exceed $5,000.00. The applicant anticipates the improvements to total $2,535.75.
The Review Committee reviewed the application and voted unanimously to recommend
approval to the OPWA, finding that the project is eligible to receive TIF assistance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval and execution of the agreement with Top Shelf Hobbies and
authorization for payment in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 for signage improvements
