Hi all, I am working on an article about Target in Minneapolis, and I'm looking for information about how the Target Center and the downtown Target are financed, and I've read so many thought-provoking comments on this list that I thought I would ask you folks for comments, recommendations, or any information that you felt like sharing. I'm looking at these kinds of questions: To what extent are MPLS taxpayers liable should Target decide to up and leave? What kind of tax incentives were offered to get them here in the first place? The whole thing is TIF-ed to the gills, isn't it?
If anyone has any recommendations for research on these subjects or has any opinions/information that they'd like to share, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks!
