Tax Increment Financing in Monroe County

Monroe County is home to one of the most successful Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts in the United States.  Since 1995, our Westside TIF has invested over $6.1 million on infrastructure crucial to the attraction and retention of our largest private employers, with several projects currently underway.  Exciting opportunities are on the horizon of our newest TIF located at the corner of Highway 37 and Highway 46.
