Resident questions use of TIF for proposed De Soto fire station
Summary
A Greenfield resident told supervisors he believes there is misinformation about using tax increment financing to fund an approximately $2.5 million De Soto fire station and asked the board to consider the information he collected from Iowa Tax Relief.
During open forum, Robert Greenway of 211 Northwest Hayes Street, Greenfield, addressed the board about the proposed financing of a new De Soto fire station. Greenway said the project is roughly a $2.5 million undertaking and expressed concern about using TIF to finance it. He said he had spoken with Iowa Tax Relief and believed there is misinformation about how TIF would be applied.
Greenway asked the board to consider the information he had gathered and to clarify the distribution of associated costs; no board action was taken during the open forum. The board did not record formal responses or a staff report in the minutes tied directly to Greenway's remarks during the meeting.
