Housing and Economic Development Bond Proposal: Written Testimony

On May 14, 2024, Metropolitan Planning Council Senior Research Director Daniel Cooper testified to the subject matter hearing where he submitted written testimony in support of the Housing and Economic Development Bond proposal.

“We believe this proposal represents an effective solution to help address both of these challenges by providing an immediate revenue stream that can be used to support development where it is most needed. And, critically, we support it because the new borrowing will be paid for over time by revenue from expiring Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts.”
