ANOTHER good idea someone had before I suggested it. -
MCDA exec. Director Steve Cramer writes:
I wanted to respond to the idea of a "vacant-lot-TIF-district". We actually
have a form of that authority - granted two sessions ago - because of the
efforts of MCDA's Housing Director Jerry Boardman and the folks who lobby
community development issues at the legislature. MCDA can place up to 100
neighborhood parcels in a scattered site TIF district and use available
increment to help produce affordable housing. We are using this authority
today, and are seeking an expansion to up to 200 parcels which the Senate
Tax Committee approved.
...me again. I've written Steve and asked how much money the 100-vacant-lot
TIF district has thrown off, and how many units it will build. When I get
those details I'll pass them along, or Steve will send them directly to the
list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
