Insurance recoveries reflect, in part, amounts NL received from certain of its former insurance carriers and relate to the recovery of prior lead pigment and asbestos litigation defense costs incurred by NL.  See Note 15.  In the first three months of 2020, Kronos recognized a $1.5 million gain related to an insurance settlement for a property damage claim.

Infrastructure reimbursement–As disclosed in Note 7 to our 2019 Annual Report, under an Owner Participation Agreement (“OPA”) entered into by LandWell with the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Henderson, Nevada, as LandWell develops certain real property for commercial and residential purposes in its master planned community in Henderson, Nevada, the cost of certain public infrastructure may be reimbursed to LandWell through tax increment.  During the first quarters of 2019 and 2020, we received approval for additional tax increment reimbursement of $1.1 million and $19.1 million, respectively, which was recognized as other income and is evidenced by a promissory note issued to LandWell by the City of Henderson.
