First step in the establishment will be these information meeting for city residents. Another is being planned for businessmen and businesswomen through the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce.

Next the planning commission must approve the boundaries of the proposed TIF district, which must then receive final approval from the city council.

The TIF district is a way to pay for public improvement projects which must take place in and area of growth. The city uses the additional tax revenue generated by increased evaluation in the district to pay off the bonds on public works.

It’s a financial maneuver which those has those who created a need for additional public works paying for those public works, but at the same rate as the rest of the taxpayers in the city. Special assessments on water and sewer, curb and gutter, etc. applies to those in the TIF district the same way it does to those in the rest of the city.

No plans for boundaries of a TIF district were suggested at the meeting.
