Residential TIF Presentation to Clayton Council - October 2, 2025

I recently made a presentation to Clayton Council on my findings exploring the mid- to far-term impacts of Residential TIFs on Clayton. The charts for the presentation are below the video.

Question during TIF Presentation
at Clayton Council Work Session - October 2, 2025

To clarify a statement the attorney made regarding where funds go at the end of a TIF agreement, I verified the funds go to the city’s general fund… which was confirmed.

TO NOTE: When schools are “made whole”, that means they are restored to getting 100% of property tax funds due them after a TIF limitation (usually losing 75% due) has expired. This to many is a confusing term that may lead some to think schools will receive the funds lost after the TIF has expired, but that is not the case… “When it’s gone, it’s gone.”
