Langfelder renews push for Enos Park TIF extension as pair of taxing bodies hold out
Nearly one month since the expiration of the Enos Park tax-increment financing district, Mayor Jim Langfelder again pushed for its retroactive renewal Tuesday even as opposition from holdout taxing bodies appeared as stiff as ever.
Langfelder, joined by a handful of community leaders on a vacant residential lot on the 900 block of North Sixth Street, called on elected officials in Capital Township and, to a lesser degree, the Springfield Park District to drop their objections to the TIF’s renewal.
The district, which covered Second Street to 10th Street and Carpenter Street to just north of North Grand Avenue, expired on Dec. 15 upon exhausting its 23-year cycle.
