Adopted July 25, 2011
As of this writing, two sites within the area
have been eyed by investors for possible new
development. Getting the area designated
as a TIF district prior to construction would
allow the district to collect a significant
amount of “unearned increment” that
could be used to fund improvements in
the surrounding area. Capturing this new
revenue within the TIF at the outset would
create a dedicated (captive) revenue source
even in the absence of new public debt.
Map 3.3, Proposed New TIF District
A new TIF district would create the necessary
public finance structure to help assemble
land and pay for the many required public
improvements in the “triangle” area.
