As some of you know, Julie Todaro suggested last spring that the TIF stakeholders set up a web site to publicize what TIF has done.
It's taken a lot longer to organize than we'd hoped, but TLA stepped up and hired a web designer last week and he already has the prototype up. So far, the only working feature is the clickable map which links to the grants to each county. (The central Texas counties do not seem to be linked yet.) The rest of the site should be functional by the Texas Municipal League conference in mid-October (TML has made TIF renewal one of their legislative priorities). Eventually, we will link individual grants to stories and pictures so visitors can click on that grant and see what it provided. TLA is working with other associations to encourage the widest possible participation by TIF constituents in providing success stories to link to grants. The site is not quite ready for prime time, but take a look at the grants in your area and I think you'll be surprised at all that TIF has done: http://www.whattifhasdone.org/ Bob Gaines --------------------------------------------- "Reply-To" replies to sender To post, send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include in body: unsubscribe tif-lwg Archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/tif-lwg%40ctls.net/
