The Community Development Authority presented its activities to the City Council, including creating tax increment districts and redevelopment areas to facilitate partnerships and redevelopment. Recent projects included removing blighted apartments and developing senior housing. The CDA is pursuing redevelopment along North Monona Drive and Broadway to boost investment. It seeks a long-term funding source like fees from tax increment financing districts to continue plans for housing, jobs, and tax base growth with limited city expenditures. The proposed East Broadway TID would provide $4 million over 27 years to support the CDA's work facilitating the city's goals.
