What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The City Council of Batavia is currently reviewing a resolution to initiate a review process for a proposed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, designated as District 7. This district would cover a segment of Batavia’s downtown, generally west of the Fox River. The proposal follows previous delays, as the city had earlier opted to pause action on the TIF district.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

A TIF district is an economic tool that freezes the property tax revenue received by taxing bodies at the time of institution. Any additional tax revenue generated by property development within the district is directed into a special fund used to pay for local improvements.
