The final preparations are being put in place for the implementation of TIF district one on the northwest side of Taylorville, and the Taylorville School Board gave their approval to the TIF district at its meeting on Monday.

Taylorville School District Superintendent Dr. Gregg Fuerstenau says the city has kept the school district informed of the process each step of the way.

Fuerstenau says although the school district will lose some revenue under the plan, the jobs and residents the TIF would bring to the community would more than make up for that lost money.

Fuerstenau says having TIF districts are a necessary tool in today’s economic environment to bring development to the community.
