2015 Council of Development Finance Agencies (CDFA) Intro Tax Increment Finance Course

On August 11, DMGS' Development Finance Consulting Director Michael Pehur will be presenting “The Most Overlooked TIF Element: Addressing Buy-in and Public Policy.”  TIF is designed to be an instrument that facilitates physical and economic improvements that combat blight and disinvestment and support community revitalization. As a taxpayer funded tool that impacts the local development landscape, TIF use requires community input and political support—aspects that are among the most critical to a TIF program’s success but all-too-often overlooked. This session explains how cities engage and incorporate input from citizens, business owners, school districts, and neighboring or overlapping jurisdictions as they design and administer TIF programs.
