<The other is a proposed policy requiring economic-risk studies and an
application fee for new TIF projects. On the face of it, this seems like
good news to those of us who suspect TIF is a hinky way to route public
money to entities that have lots of it already. Any comments?>
The way it was downplayed by the MCDA head communicated to me that it will
still be business as usual. It isn't about tinkering with the requirements,
folks. It is about a fundamental shift in vision in which we create a place
that people want to invest, not one where we have to pay out every time
somebody comes to town. And it is about leadership that is savvy in
development and real estate. It is once again time to inspire this city to
greatness.
