TRUSSVILLE —The Trussville City Council approved an economic incentive agreement for a new business arriving at the Pinnacle in 2018 during Tuesday’s meeting.

Urban Air is a new business opening in the former HH Gregg building at the Pinnacle.

Urban Air, a large-scale indoor trampoline center, has purchased the old HH Gregg property located at 3679 Roosevelt Blvd.

In the agreement, the city is offering Urban Air a 2 out of 3 cents tax abatement. Councilor Alan Taylor explains, “Phase One of the project is going to require a capital investment of $2 million on their part.”

The project is estimated to produce a taxable revenue in excess of $3 million.

“Good faith projection for the developer estimate potential annual tax revenue for the project would be about $90,000,” Taylor said.

Taylor explains that the city’s incentive agreement is a tax abatement which includes two (2) of three (3) cents. Of the four (4) cent tax, One (1) is designated for schools.

“Of the three, we will abate two of those and keep one until $600,000 or 10 years, whichever comes first,” Taylor said.

Urban Air is planned to open in 2018 and will be suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It offer guests a wide variety of physical activities across its wall-to-wall trampoline arenas, trampoline runway, foam pit, slam dunk track and trampoline dodgeball arena.
