Re: Boulevard Place
maybe what we could do is either
1) have the TIF districts expire earlier than 25 years. What if it were 10 or 15 years, would that be better for schools?
2) have a proportion of the increase from the TIF district still go to schools. This whould show a huge commitment to schools if, say 25% of the TIF would still go to schools. Using Pete's $360m from TIF2, Oklahoma City Public Schools would receive $90m. Im certain OKC Public schools could benefit from that influx of revenue; and there would still be $250m for development incentive.
the best scenario would be to implement both; let's revise the TIF process to give something to the schools and a shorter run.
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
