Tax Increment Finance Authorities
New legislation requires municipalities to release to the public a variety of information about Michigan tax increment finance authorities.
Battle Creek has four of these -- the Battle Creek Tax Increment Financing Authority, the Downtown Development Authority, the Lakeview Downtown Development Authority, and the Local Development Financing Authority.
Tax increment financing is a tool local governments use to promote economic development and redevelopment. The TIF process splits tax revenue from a property into two components: 1) base revenues, the amount available before the TIF districts exists; these are shared among agencies that assess property taxes (schools, cities, counties); and 2) incremental revenues, new revenues beyond the base, generated by development projects and allocated to to the government sponsoring the TIF project.
This process generates funding for projects within the TIF district, giving development subsidies to encourage growth.
Downtown Development Authority (DDA)
The purpose of the Downtown Development Authority is to halt property tax deterioration, and increase property tax valuation where possible, in the Central Business District -- downtown Battle Creek. The DDA was established by City Commission resolution in 1979.
