Reinvestment Zone #1 (TIRZ#1), and the potential use of TIRZ #1 to fund
improvements to the area identified in the Small Area Plan. (April Duvall,
Director of Finance)
April Duvall, Director of Finance, provided an overview of TIRZ#1, a financing tool
established in 2013 to support public infrastructure improvements and incentivize
development in designated areas. She reviewed the zone's history, purpose, structure,
and financial activity, noting that prior agreements with developers (Hutchins BBQ and
HG Supply) have been fulfilled, with approximately $70,000 remaining in the fund. She
highlighted how TIRZ could potentially support future projects identified in the Small Area
Plan, though no current development is underway.

supporting its retention for potential future incentives and others questioning its value
given the limited fund balance and administrative effort. There was also discussion about
