Tax Increment Financing (T.I.F. Districts)

The City of Lacon has undertaken an effort to design redevelopment plans and projects for specific areas in the city.  The plans are intended to promote and protect the health, safety, morals and welfare of the public, address blighted conditions and institute conservation measures so as to remove and alleviate adverse conditions, encourage private investment and restore and enhance the tax base of the taxing districts by undertaking public and private redevelopment projects within a designated area.


Without tax increment financing (T.I.F.), further decline of the area is likely to occur and further impair the value of private investments as well as the sound growth and tax base of affected taxing districts.   Therefore, the City of Lacon uses T.I.F. to attract new residential and commercial development to the community.  The City expects to create new employment opportunities, increase population, increase the real estate tax assessment base and stimulate the local economy, thereby improving the overall quality of life for its residents.
