Meeting for Proposed Cortland/Clybourn
TIF District
Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Renew Chicago Church
1001 N. Crosby Street
6:00 PM
A $1 billion plan has been proposed to support Lincoln Yards. On Friday, the city announced a public meeting for a TIF district covering a huge number of sites in the North Branch Corridor, including Lincoln Yards and General Iron.
Taxpayers would fund infrastructure needs, such as roads and bridges, for Lincoln Yards through TIF dollars. Yet legally, a TIF is only permissible if there is a "public benefit," so we must understand whether these infrastructure needs benefit all Chicagoans and not just Sterling Bay - including true traffic mitigation and a public park.
The city plans to only discuss TIF eligibility and boundaries. However, without revealing planned uses of TIF funds, the public cannot judge whether this is a proper use of taxpayer dollars. I urge you to attend this meeting.
See my
last newsletter for more information.
