Project Profile: Spokane County River District Revenue Development Area at Liberty Lake LIFT Award: Up to $1,000,000 per year for 25 years Year LIFT Tax Imposed: 2010 BACKGROUND The River District RDA coincides with the boundary of Spokane County Increment Area 2005-01, a property Tax Increment Finance (TIF) area authorized under chapter 39.89 RCW and established by Spokane County on December 22, 2005. Increment Area 2005-01 has a 2005 (Assessment Year) Base Year and a 2006 (Assessment Year) Increment Year. Since establishment of Spokane County Increment Area 2005-01 and the approval of the River District RDA, approximately $5,293,982 of public infrastructure, intended to be financed by LIFT on a “pay as you go” basis, has been constructed. These improvements are shown in the following Table 1. The public improvements listed in Table 1, together with other public infrastructure not funded through LIFT, have encouraged private investment that has contributed to increased taxable valuation within the River District TIF Increment Area and RDA. 22
Table 2 lists the annual River District RDA taxable valuation and tax distribution since formation of the TIF Increment Area 2005-01. The River District contained 15 existing businesses at the time of the RDA formation and LIFT application approval. River District businesses existing at the time of RDA approval is documented by Spokane County. The River District total taxable sales and distributed sales and use taxes are shown in Table 3. 2015 ACTIVITIES River Crossing, LLC constructed the necessary infrastructure to develop 34 additional acres within the RDA. Approximately 7,600 lineal feet of public streets, 17,600 lineal feet of water line, and 22,352 lineal feet of sewer was constructed during 2015. Development planning continues to be a major emphasis as the project developer positions the River District for additional infrastructure design and construction. Special emphasis is being given to transportation elements critical to the success of the River District. The Washington State Transportation Department (WSDOT) is conducting an Interchange Justification Report (IJR) for the Barker Road Interchange, just west of the River District Site. WSDOT commenced an IJR for the Harvard/ Greenacres Interchange in 2014 and although expected to complete the process in late 2015, the process is continuing. Transportation funding for I-90 from Barker to Harvard is crucial to the successful development of the River District. Partial funding by LIFT of a reconstructed interchange at Harvard/Greenacres is envisioned. 23
