BILL

BL2026-1451

Passed

This ordinance updates six Nashville redevelopment plans — Arts Center, Bordeaux, Central State, Phillips-Jackson, Rutledge Hill, and Skyline — to add new rules governing how tax increment financing (TIF) is managed. Going forward, no more than 75% of TIF funds can be used to repay new bonds or debt under these plans, and the eligible activities for TIF must be jointly reviewed and agreed upon by MDHA and the Metro Council at least every ten years or new borrowing against TIF is frozen. It also allows either the Metro Council or MDHA to kick off changes to these redevelopment plans, rather than MDHA alone.
