Water Street TIF District

A Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Feasibility Study for the Water Street Area was conducted in 2002 which showed the area was qualified for eligible expenditures, including public improvements that could be funded under the TIF Act. A Water Street Vision Statement (PDF) was drafted and a Joint Review Board was established to create the proposed Water Street Tax Increment (TIF) District.

The Water Street TIF District was approved in 2007. The ordinances creating the district are listed below:
