Re: The Crossroads (72 & Dodge)
However, they are receiving incentives that under "normal" circumstances other developers wouldn't receive. For example if someone wants to redevelop some farm land along 220th & Dodge they likely would never qualify for TIF, correct? Or, Village Pointe, etc? I do understand no one is...

Re: The Crossroads (72 & Dodge)
Just a reminder how TIF Actually works.... No Money is ever handed out. The city is not writing checks to deveopers. Also, if the developer doesn't do anything, they don't get any of the TIF Benefit. In Omaha, TIF is developer-financed. This means that the project owner/developer secures the fundin...

Should be one of the more expensive areas of the city to acquire real estate. They aren't putting a Mega Saver across the street from Village Pointe (another expensive area).
Since it needs to be built will they construct a car wash they never intend to open and use it for storage?
