On May 22, 2002, City Council approved amendments to the City Center TIF District Project and Financing Plan that increased the TIF budget from $61,923,676 to $108,900,943, including $12,000,000 to be used outside the TIF District for affordable housing and two plazas (all in current dollars). $96,000,000 of the TIF funds are anticipated to come from collected tax increment. Additional revenue is expected to come from income generated form parking facility revenue and interest income. The City Center TIF fund currently has available funds. However, most of the funds on hand are committed to projects or expected to be allocated to projects currently under consideration.

The additional TIF funds have been well received by the development community. The City’s ability to form successful public/private partnerships using the TIF Districts is making it possible to get many buildings that have sat vacant for decades to be rehabilitated, adding life and value to our downtown. The redevelopment projects balance incentives needed to make projects feasible with the public desire for preservation of historic buildings, creation of a downtown neighborhood, and development of public green spaces.
