SHA TIF PROPOSAL
On February 16, 1999, the City Council of the City of Springfield adopted ordinances 86.2.99, 87.2.99, and 88.2.99 approving a Redevelopment Plan and Project
(the “Original SHA Plan”) for an area designated as the Springfield Housing Authority Redevelopment Project Area (the “Original SHA Area”) and adopted tax increment
financing for said area. These actions were accomplished pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1
et seq. (the “Act”).
The City now desires to amend the Original SHA Plan and Original SHA Area boundary and these changes are incorporated in this 2021 Amendment to the TIF Redevelopment
Plan and Project for the Springfield Housing Authority Redevelopment Project Area (the “2021 Plan Amendment”). In summary, the changes include adding the area shown
on Exhibit A – Amended Redevelopment Project Area. The area to be added consists of approximately 896 parcels and 294 acres of land, 213 acres less rights of way,
and it is contiguous to the Original SHA Area
A copy of the proposed plan is now available for review and public comments are currently being accepted.
