Hello again everyone,
We have received so many emails on this issue in the last few days and are pleased that the debate has begun. The TIF is something that will affect all Riversiders, one way or another, good or bad. It is imperative that we all have a dialogue open. Each resident of the Village has to know soon where they stand on this issue. Please consider sharing your opinion with our elected officials as creating a TIF district does not require a voter referendum but instead a majority vote by village trustees.
Since we all seem eager to learn more, we look forward to hearing from our Village Officials when the next phase of the TIF process (Development Study) is available & when the next informational sessions for the public concerning the TIF are scheduled.
We attached the flyer again for your convenience. We removed the example of the Swim Club as private property that could be taken by eminent domain. We are sorry if there was any confusion. It was meant to be an example. ANY private property within the TIF district could be acquired with TIF funds.
Thanks so much to everyone for your consideration in this matter.
Looking forward to the conversation continuing!
Kim & Holly
