Guidelines (including elements<br />

with <strong>the</strong> PAAC can enter into<br />

joint development agreements<br />

with private developers<br />

• Assemble and remediate<br />

development sites within <strong>the</strong><br />

study area<br />

Project Review<br />

• TRID funding application<br />

similar to TIF for project<br />

requesting stand-alone<br />

financing to determine project<br />

feasibility<br />

• Stand-alone projects can be<br />

project specific TRID<br />

financing or GAP financing<br />

from VC Fund<br />

• Ensure market viability <strong>of</strong><br />

proposed development<br />

• Enter into development<br />

agreements to ensure goals<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> local community<br />

• Collect administrative fees for<br />

stand-alone financings<br />

District-wide Improvements<br />

• Prioritize infrastructure and<br />

transit within <strong>the</strong> study area<br />

financings for district-wide<br />

improvements<br />

area over time to correspond<br />

to market conditions<br />

Annual Reporting<br />

• Review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elTRID standalone<br />

financings and VC fund<br />

activity<br />

• Potential return <strong>of</strong> any unutilized<br />

incremental revenue to <strong>the</strong><br />

taxing bodies<br />

elTRIDRA will implement <strong>the</strong> value<br />

capture strategy which is critical to<br />

guide TOD led revitalization in <strong>the</strong><br />

study area. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, oversight will<br />

make certain that TOD elements<br />

are incorporated into <strong>the</strong> project<br />

design and that development builds<br />

<strong>of</strong>f o<strong>the</strong>r investments in public<br />

infrastructure and <strong>the</strong> transit<br />

system. The strategy will blend<br />

asset preservation in stable<br />

portions.<br />

Obviously <strong>the</strong> capture <strong>of</strong> TRID<br />

revenues within <strong>the</strong> proposed value<br />

capture areas represents taxes<br />

foregone by <strong>the</strong> local taxing bodies.<br />

Every dollar <strong>of</strong> this public<br />

investment will leverage at l<strong>east</strong> six<br />

dollars <strong>of</strong> private investment. The<br />

strategy includes <strong>the</strong> ability for<br />

some revenues to be retained for<br />

general government use and a<br />

return <strong>of</strong> excess TRID revenues at<br />

certain times. However, significant<br />

economic impacts are expected<br />

within <strong>the</strong> study area following<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elTRID.<br />

Estimated benefits include private<br />

investment, job creation, retention<br />

<strong>of</strong> existing jobs and o<strong>the</strong>r non-real<br />

property or income tax<br />

revenues/fees.
