Livernois Corridor Improvement Authority feasibility study

Ferndale

Summary

The council approved a $15,000 study exploring a Corridor Improvement Authority for Livernois, which could capture rising property taxes to fund lighting, facades, infrastructure and a possible Main Street program. Residents would get a voice on the board, but TIF capture diverts some tax growth from the general fund — a concern one resident raised. Findings come back to council this fall.
