P1enQ& Zon 1y.
in existence within the redevelopment plan area. Following are just a
Economic DerODp :
few of the questions that we would like to touch upon when you visit
aue Ko opchak
the city.
What degree of flexibility does the City have in melding tax increment
districts for the purpose of sharing revenue and debt?
What type of redevelopment activities are allowable in each district?
The City is interested in expanding the eastern boundary of the
redevelopment plan area, thereby including more industrial land in the
tax increment financing district. What is the mechanism by which this
expansion can take place if at all possible?
If debt is expected to exceed revenue generated by a project, what
techniques can be used to bridge this gap?
City staff is in the process of determining its needs in terms of
technical support for development and administration of tax increment
financing plans, modifications, etc. We look forward to discussing
these issues with you.
If you should have any questions regarding this letter, please feel
free to call.
Sincerely,
