We congratulate the Mayor and Task Force for tackling this issue. We are especially pleased to know that they have adopted one of the Lawndale Alliance’s recommendations to implement the TIF program within the context of a comprehensive economic development plan with measurable goals and objectives. It is our hope that they can drill down to the community level and ensure participation from rank and file community residents and local business owners, who are most impacted financially and otherwise by these TIFs.
