successful TIF stimulates growth outside itsboundaries.

District 57 Board Member
o
D57 is a top performing school district; yet the cost for educating our children is below
o
state average
Districtimpacted by recession; 75% of funding comes from property taxes and is limited
o
by the tax cap
Possibility that D57 would need to rely onreferendum in the future to raise revenue for
o
both operating and capital projects
TIF distributes tax burden, causes taxes to increase, making a referendum to benefit D57
o
harder for taxpayers to support
Looks forward to working with the Village in the future
