We are committed to being transparent and accountable in all aspects of our administration. All financial information is provided on this site.
The DDA is funded three ways:
- Community Development Block Grant – funds administrative costs only
- The Human Planning Commission determines our awarded amount annually.
- The few years the DDA has been funded between $30,000 and $36,000 annually.
- Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District - established in 2011, this funding mechanism allows the DDA to collect the incremental increase in taxes collected as properties increase in value from 2011 to now. Total we collect approximately $15,000 annually.
- This fund can be used for public improvements in the district, such as streetscape improvements, parking, underground utilities and marketing efforts.
- The lifespan of the Saginaw DDA TIF is from 2011 – 2030.
- 2 Mill Levy - adopted in 2017 and collects $1 for every $1,000 of property value in the DDA District. Total we collect approximately $130,000 annually.
- This tax levy was voted on by the public.
At the end of fiscal year 2018/2019, the DDA had a fund balance of $210,000. As the 2010 TIF plan indicates, the DDA plans to spend these fund on streetscape improvement projects, property aquisition and infrastructure projects.
