Downtown Maps

Tax increment finance (TIF) is a unique financing tool used to leverage public funds to promote private sector activity in the targeted area. In the year 2000, the boundaries of the Northside West CRA and Downtown East CRA were merged into a single Northbank Downtown CRA (Ordinance 2000-1078-E), and their respective Redevelopment Trust Funds were also merged.  However, separate accounting records are maintained with respect to each of the former areas in order to calculate accurate increment revenues from each geographic area because they have different Base Years (year the CRA was established), and also in order to assure that any outstanding indebtedness payable from increment revenues in each former area at the time the merger took place is repaid only from the increment revenue derived from such former area, respectively. The TIF Map illustrates the three original TIF Distrcits in Downtown Jacksonville.
