3 Issues. The Right on Special Districts. TIRZs.

The right: Texas Public Policy Foundation

The 3 issues raised about Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones:

  • unaccountable to private citizens
    • calls for greater transperancy
  • TIRZ statutes are expansive, allowing for TIRZs in areas that could find solutions with private investment
    • calls for a finding of blight before a TIRZ is created
  • Monitoring of TIRZ development is necessary to look for TIRZs increasing overall development
