  TIF for Public Officials

  Join us for a  webinar designed for public officials or new practitioners, including City Council and Village Board members. This session offers a clear, practical overview of Tax Increment Financing (TIF)—one of the most widely used economic development tools in Illinois.

  We’ll cover the fundamentals of how TIF works, legal requirements, and financial mechanics, along with real-world case studies on downtown revitalization, infrastructure, and job-creating development. The session also tackles common misconceptions and offers guidance on navigating community and political considerations.

  The webinar includes a live Q&A with Illinois practitioners and municipal experts.

  AICP members can earn Certification Maintenance (CM) credits for this activity.  More information about AICP’s CM program can be found at planning.org/cm.
