Local Improvement Districts (LID) Program:
Local Infrastructure Financing Tool (LIFT) Program:
Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) Program:
There are a variety of foundations through which you can receive funding for brownfield projects. While a fund may not directly state "site assessment" or brownfield cleanup" under the
eligible costs, keep an eye out for areas such as community development, health, the environment, economic opportunity, etc. If you have a specific redevelopment project planned, look for
funding for that kind of development (affordable housing, infrastructure, parks, etc). Foundation directories are very helpful for finding funding opportunities, including the
www.foundationcenter.org and www.tgci.com. Www.fundersnetwork.org provides a list of foundations working on issues of smart growth and development.
A LID is a specific geographical district formed by a group of property owners working together to bring needed capital improvements such as sidewalks, streetlights, street pavement or
water or sewer lines. An LID is a financing method available to property owners for design and construction of those improvements. The City undertakes all aspects of design, financing and
construction of improvements and sells bonds to provide cash for the project. Property owners within the benefit district repay the money through special assessments, usually over 15 to 20
years. Neighborhoods should consider forming an LID to fund improvements that would benefit each property owner. LIDs have several advantages. Perhaps the biggest benefit is a means of
spreading the cost of the improvements among several property owners. This reduces the cost of improvements compared to the cost of charging an individual property owner. Contact your
local city government to determine if the city already has a LID program in place.
The local infrastructure financing tool program is created to assist local governments in financing authorized public infrastructure projects designed to promote economic development in the
jurisdiction. A sponsoring jurisdiction (city, town, port district, or tribal government) creates a "revenue development area" from which the annual increases in revenues from local sales/use,
taxes, and local property taxes are measured. Increases in revenues and any additional funds from other local public sources are used to pay for public improvements in the revenue
development area and match a limited amount of state contribution. The maximum state contribution is capped at $1M per year for up to 25 years. Contact your local city government to
determine if the city already has a LIFT program in place.
The Multifamily Property Tax Exemption (MFTE) Program provides a tax exemption on the residential improvements on multifamily projects in exchange for setting aside 20% of the units for
moderate‐wage workers. Projects must be located in a residential targeted area and applications must be submitted prior to the issuance of a project's first building permit. Contact your
local city government to determine if the city already has a MFTE program in place.
