Resolution approving an Amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District No. 71 (Mitchell Street), in the 12th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
Tax Incremental District No. 71 has declined in value, since it was established in 2008, and it is generating no incremental revenue with which to repay its project costs.
