TID plan overhaul: closures, amendments and two new districts
Summary
The city wants to close TIDs 10, 16 and 27, amend several neighborhood TIDs, and create TID 32 (Lincoln King) and TID 33 (the old YMCA site at 725 Lake Avenue). The changes are needed to stay under the state's 12% cap on TID value, and closing TID 27 is what makes the new districts possible. Alders get the final vote next week.

Impact analysis
The changes shape how millions in tax increment get spent — including $7 million redirected from TID 22 to cover TID 27 residents — and unlock two new districts for redevelopment.
Homeowners in neighborhood TIDs keep their repair grants, and the Lincoln King and lakefront sites get new development tools.
Alder Weidner argues residents just outside the half-mile zones and taxpayers in TID 31 could lose out if funds are shifted elsewhere.
