Re: Urban Renewal Agency- West Side Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
Program Development
Meeting Date: March 25, 2013
The West Side Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District was expanded to include the Core Area as
of December 21, 2012. The Urban Renewal Agency has met five times during the months of
January through March 2013 to develop programs and guidelines specific to the goals adopted by
Council for the Core Area.
Coinciding with this program development process is a request from Mr. Paul Roybal at 11 Main
Street in Kalispell, for availability of TIF Funds to be used for rehabilitation of that location.
The URA has been able to work on the programs and guidelines with this request as a respective
pilot program to see how the interaction works. The focus of the URA program development has
been on areas of 1) public infrastructure, 2) fagade development, and 3) code and safety
development.
At the work session, staff will review the programs the URA has been working on and how the
application from Mr. Roybal falls into this review.
Respectfully submitted,
Katharine Thompson
