Richard Mitchell announced this meeting in a comment to another post, but then I also received notice from the City about the same event:
East Village Growth Cell
Residential Rehabilitation Program Meeting
WHEN: Monday, February 21 @ 6:00 P.M.
WHERE: New Beginnings Church
1917 N Wisconsin AvenueWHY: The creation of a TIF District has the ability to bring about positive change in the East Village Growth Cell. This meeting will provide an opportunity for neighborhood residents to learn more about how TIF can be used to improve a neighborhood.
Mitch added that “It [has] now been confirmed that we [will] be having another presentation centered around a representative from the [Decatur] TIF Area.” There’s a residential TIF in Decatur that the City of Peoria is using as an example of how successful these kinds of TIFs can be.
