SUMMARY:
There are three Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts contained within the City of Pensacola’s Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Budget; the Urban Core TIF, the Eastside TIF, and the Westside TIF. The concept of a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) using the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds relates to the growth, redevelopment and subsequent property value increase in the Redevelopment Area/TIF to the continued improvement of the Area or neighborhood. TIF funds can only be used to undertake planning and construction of improvements and/or specific projects within the Redevelopment Area or neighborhood included within the respective plans.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2021 budget process, the CRA is asked to approve the budgets for these three TIF districts and also make a formal recommendation that the City Council take action to approve the budgets.
