Making an Impact: How TIF Districts are breathing new life into communities

Tax Increment Financing is enabling municipalities all across the state to breathe new life into key areas by bringing vacant buildings back online, encouraging economic development, and allowing for innovative reinvestment in the community.

CMSC has been at the forefront of this issue, championing the TIF legislation, providing information to communities, and helping others like Old Saybrook & Enfield to create their own TIF Districts.
