Public Newsroom #25: Your Taxes, Your TIFs

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Chicago’s annual Tax Increment Financing (TIF) report is expected to be released this week, so we’ll have TIF expert Tom Tresser in the Public Newsroom to discuss how TIFs work and who wins and loses from their use in the city. This workshop will be a collaborative, crowd-sourced process where City Bureau and the Civic Lab will show how the public can dissect and analyze TIF data. If the 2016 TIF report is not online by Thursday night, we’ll examine the TIFs of the 20th Ward, especially the Woodlawn TIF, which includes Build Coffee and City Bureau’s newsroom.
