TIF 101 – Tax Increment Financing Districts (TIFs)

Tax Increment Financing Districts (TIFs) are a BIG deal in Chicago.

How do they work?
How many of them are there?
How much money are they moving annually?
How do TIFs fit into the larger narrative of economic justice in Chicago?

We will answer these questions and more with a special online seminar.

Tom Tresser is the guest speaker and is a long-time civic educator and public defender. He was a co-leader of the No Games Chicago campaign in 2009 that derailed Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics (www.nogameschicago.com). He was the Green Party candidate for Cook County Board President in 2010. In 2013 he opened the CivicLab in Chicago’s West Loop as a co-working/maker space dedicated to grassroots democracy and social justice (www.civiclab.us).

Tom has delivered over 200 community forums since 2010.
