Summary
The dual-brand Holiday Inn Express and Candlewood Suites in Minooka got extra time under its tax abatement because of weather, a storm, and redesigns after adding the second brand. The abatement doesn't kick in until the hotel has a full assessed year, so extending the deadline doesn't cost the schools, village, or other taxing bodies anything extra.

Impact analysis
The abatement only starts once the hotel has a full assessed year, so the extension itself doesn't reduce tax revenue for schools, the village, or other taxing bodies.
The hotel developer gets breathing room to finish construction without losing its tax incentive, and Minooka gains a first-of-its-kind low-carbon dual-brand hotel.
