Mayor Tom Nelson
City of Laurel
Laurel, MT 59044
Dear Mayor Nelson and City Council Members,
Please accept this letter as my resignation from the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency
(LURA) Advisory Board. As a significant property owner and tax payer in the Laurel Tax
Increment Financing District (TIFD), I felt I could help provide some input for the City regarding
business improvements and growth. I think the entire Laurel TIFD Advisory Board has done an
amazing job of helping Businesses in the District improve their appearance and enhance their
business and property values. This funding has been a re -inspiration and source of pride of
owning a Business in Laurel.
When you hijacked the TIFD Funds for your East Main Street Project without consulting,
advising, nor informing the LURA Advisory Board, you made it obvious to me that the LURA
Advisory Board has no value. I am sure that you and all the City Council members have only
the best of intentions for the betterment of this Community and I commend you all for being
willing to serve. However, this infra structure project was not the best use of Good Judgement.
Good luck to you all in the future.
Sincerely,
500 SE 4th St
Laurel, MT 59044
