unencumbered revenues within <strong>the</strong><br />
elTRID VC Fund could also be utilized to<br />
provide additional security to any project<br />
specific TRID debt or dedicated to pooled<br />
financing like <strong>the</strong> earlier example.<br />
The figure above illustrates <strong>the</strong> annual<br />
incremental real property tax revenue<br />
flows into <strong>the</strong> elTRID VC Fund. When<br />
income tax increment is also pledged to<br />
<strong>the</strong> fund, <strong>the</strong> annual flows increase as<br />
illustrated in <strong>the</strong> figure on <strong>the</strong> right. The<br />
net present value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se annual<br />
revenues is $12.3 million and $14.7<br />
million respectively representing a rough<br />
example <strong>of</strong> <strong>potential</strong> future financing<br />
capacity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> VC Fund. As <strong>the</strong> initial<br />
and Phase II value capture areas are<br />
retired, those tax revenues return in full<br />
to <strong>the</strong> taxing bodies and <strong>the</strong> annual<br />
amount available decreases accordingly.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> 30 year period until <strong>the</strong><br />
expiration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 3 rd TRID value capture<br />
area, <strong>the</strong> VC Fund is expected to collect<br />
approximately $44 million <strong>of</strong> incremental<br />
revenues or $52 million if all income<br />
taxes are also diverted to <strong>the</strong> fund. The<br />
figure illustrates growth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elTRID VC<br />
Fund over time minus <strong>potential</strong><br />
contributions to <strong>the</strong> Eastside III & IV<br />
projects. Again, this conservative<br />
estimate does not include smaller<br />
projects, background increment or<br />
redevelopment <strong>of</strong> certain targeted sites<br />
that could be targeted following district<br />
wide infrastructure improvements.<br />
The annual amount revenue available to<br />
<strong>the</strong> fund would be decreased if projects<br />
pursue financing based upon site specific<br />
increment created or several projects<br />
combine for a pooled TRID debt issuance.<br />
Those projects could also seek additional<br />
contributions from <strong>the</strong> VC Fund to support<br />
TRID backed debt like <strong>the</strong> Eastside<br />
example. However, <strong>the</strong>y could also return<br />
excess increment back to <strong>the</strong> fund if o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
funding sources are available. Remaining<br />
proceeds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fund will be utilized for:<br />
• District-wide infrastructure and<br />
transit improvements<br />
• Infrastructure maintenance<br />
• Development site assemblage<br />
and remediation<br />
• Contributions to larger<br />
projects that require additional<br />
funding, including pledged<br />
security<br />
• Gap financing for smaller<br />
scale redevelopment projects<br />
to stabilize commercial core<br />
and preserve local business
