The St Louis Contrarian

Providing Independent and Intelligent Insight on St. Louis Public Policy Issues

More on Development Incentives

The Riverfront Times contained an excellent article today. It focused on a bill before the Missouri legislature which will improve the use of TIFs. It will require more transparency, shorter TIF periods, and allow the school districts more input and the possibility of opting out. The legislation is supported by both liberal and conservatives etc. The City of St. Louis is opposed to it because they want more “local control” over the process. Once again the City of St. Louis is on the wrong side of history. Written by Paul Dribin.
