Is your TIF district delivering the community value it should?

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts are a tool that can help communities optimize the value of an incremental tax base and make improvements and development happen.  Yet we often see local municipalities who are stretched too thin so they can’t use TIF to its greatest advantage.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts are a tool that can help communities optimize the value of an incremental tax base and make improvements and development happen.  Yet we often see local municipalities who are stretched too thin so they can’t use TIF to its greatest advantage. This can lead to a TIF that falls short of expectations.  We can help.  We provide deep expertise at every stage in the TIF process – with decades of experience working with customers to drive impactful TIF outcomes.

Whether it is reversing a TIF in a negative increment or providing the planning acumen to bring your vision to life, we can help make your TIF District successful.

‘Your TID isn’t a piggybank’ and other important tips.

Tax incremental financing is the most powerful tool in the municipal toolkit. It is designed as a debt funding vehicle and is used to subsidize development in the selected district for the term of the TID. Actively and effectively managing your TID means you can always be ready for development opportunities when they arise.
