Our TIF Redevelopment Projects

|
Here are a few examples:
- We have established more than 250 TIF Districts and numerous Business Development Districts throughout Illinois and annually administer hundreds of intergovernmental agreements and private redevelopment agreements for more than 90 Illinois municipalities.
- During 2020, we directed the statutory use and annual reporting for more than $67 million of TIF real estate tax increment generated by our client communities.
- Our TIF Redevelopment Plans have attracted more than $2.5 billion of new private investment and more than 4,000 new jobs since 1986.
- Increased stability for local population and school enrollments is often a significant objective for communities where new TIF residential projects are undertaken.
- Remarkable increases in municipal revenues have occurred as a result of the Tax Increment Financing Districts we have established. For tax year 2019, the overall annual average real estate tax increment generated by our client municipalities was about $800,000 (see chart above for breakdown by population group).
