The City Council unanimously approved a second amended project plan and financing plan for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) No. 8, the Gus Thomasson zone. Ted Chen, the city’s finance director, told council the amendment increases the zone’s total estimated project costs by $185,000 to fund a North Gus Thomasson corridor study and to support potential development at a city‑owned site at 4545 Gus Thomasson; staff emphasized the amendment does not create a new tax but reallocates a portion of the incremental tax growth within the zone to pay for projects in the TIRZ.
