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
