Brockton Mall to Get 10-Year TIF Deal

Great Falls, MT Considers Its Options to Fix Crumbling Civic Center Facade

"We would go issue debt for $5.5 million and make debt payments on it and make payments for 20 years," Finance Director Melissa Kinzler said. About $1.3 million accrues in the fund annually. The city would need about $400,000 annually from the TIF fund to repay a bond issue.
