My thoughts on TIF funding for workforce housing:
• 1 don't have a problem with using TIF funding for workforce housing. I think it is a good idea. Maybe also
parking. People have to park somewhere.
• The proposal for 8 story tall parking structure with housing feels inappropriate to me because:
• The housing is not affordable enough
• It is not affordable for a long enough time
• The structure is much too tall
• There is a feeling of this project being hurried through
I think TIF supported housing should be organized to be cheap enough for staff members to use, maybe a mix of
dormitory units, small apartments, and starter homes.
I think 3 maybe 4 stories is quite tall enough.
