Overview

"This book brings together leading experts to examine the evolving nature of tax increment financing (TIF), the most widely used tool of local economic and community development. Originally designed as an innovative approach to the redevelopment of blighted areas, it has become a more general-purpose tool of economic and community development. Contributors offer case studies of the uses, structures, and impacts of TIF projects alongside more general discussions on the theoretical, financial, and legal bases for the use of TIF. They also explore its effect on overlapping jurisdictions such as cities, counties, and school districts. Some of the case studies capture TIF at its best—redeveloping areas that would likely never develop without substantial incentives. Other cases highlight questionable uses, especially where it has been used in new ways that those who developed the tool never envisioned. Originally published in 2001, the book was called ""…a major contribution to the debate on the efficacy of such economic development financing tools as TIF…"" by the journal Public Budgeting & Finance. Clear, comprehensive, and timely, this new edition features the latest research and thinking on TIF, including the political, legal, and even ethical issues surrounding its use."

Reviews

This book provides the most complete discussion of TIF policies that I have seen. The cases are drawn from original data that focus attention on the development and application of this policy instrument. They demonstrate how TIF may fulfill or fall short of the original intent for this policy tool. -- Barbara Coyle McCabe, Arizona State University Individuals will want to own this book if they have anything to do with economic development or public finance at the state and local level... and will want to refer to over and over. -- Irene Rubin, Northern Illinois University

...this updated volume makes a significant contribution to the literature. This edition is especially adept at demonstrating how the concept of TIF has been expanded through policy and practice. While the value of the text lies in its scope, breadth and analysis, it also serves as a benchmark, a point of reference, and ultimately, a roadmap ... It is the go-to text for anyone wanting to learn the basics about one of the most popular economic development tools of our time. - Journal of Urban Affairs
