Profiles in Economic Development
Tax Increment Financing can bring new development opportunities and a better way of life for your community. This innovative financing tool opens the door for private and public development without raising taxes. We can help you decide which development options would match your town’s interests and needs.

      Industrial Facilities
Landing a large industrial facility such as JC Whitney in LaSalle means hundreds of new jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenue for a city.



      Residential Development
New housing in every price range invites residents to move up or move in.When businesses see the population increase, they will build as well.



      Commercial Businesses
The Flying J Truck Stop at the crossroads of several major highways was an exciting new project that pays substantial sales taxes to the city and county.


      Public Projects
Money generated from TIF development went back into the community of Mendota. A renovated train depot and museum, new library, and civic center are just a few of the public projects that make life better.New roads, sewers, and water lines are other types of public TIF projects.



      Entertainment
Keeping dining and recreation dollars inside a community is a good financial strategy.Many TIF Districts encourage entertainment options.



      Schools
Schools can be some of the biggest beneficiaries of TIF funds. Ask school officials who have seen their systems expand as TIF Districts grow their communities.
