Top issues during term (20)

Construction came in roughly $175,000 below the estimate.

No cost to the city, but potential grant funding could grow from roughly $324,000 countywide annually to about $780,000 a year for three years.
Urban/rural designation and HUD funding transparency
More HUD grant money available, with roughly 30% skimmed off for county grant administration.

The TIF redirects future residential property tax revenue growth away from other local taxing authorities.
