Development Incentives Research
In 2008, in response to concerns about the long-term effects on the economic health of the region and the fiscal well-being of local governments, the East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWG) Board of Directors directed staff to address three principal questions:
- How much has the region “spent” on development incentives, including: tax increment financing (TIF), transportation development districts (TDDs), community improvement districts (CIDs), and business development districts (BDDs)?
- What effect has the use of incentives had on local governments’ ability to finance essential public services?
- Has there been a distributional effect with regard to race and income?
In 2011, EWG staff completed a final report to address these questions. Periodic updates are made to the report and the accompanying data. Below are all of these reports and data files as well as a 2009 interim report and additional reports that informed the research.
