The West End residents (both renters and homeowners) and small business owners have a new threat to their livelihood. Now that the entire West End has been established as a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district, learn what that means for current West End residents, why that’s important, and what we can do about it by watching a short 15min explainer video at www.hbnassembly.org/westendtif
We, the undersigned who are both West End residents and allies, stand together against the West End TIF---its authors, affiliates, leadership, organizations, etc. We aim to stop this TIF district from activating.

This is disgraceful. The fact that Black residents were surreptitiously railroaded to prop up a plan that essentially forces them to fund their own ultimate eviction/displacement is worthy of media attention nationwide.
We don't need a TIF, we need solutions to keep money and residents in West Louisville and put people in power to improve the communities where they live. We need Black ownership, not gentrification by the same old wealthy powerful developers
I'm a lifelong resident of the Portland neighborhood and I'm against the outrageous gentrification efforts to push poor people out. We have no where else to go. The city has enough homeless, why do you want to create more homeless families.
I believe this TIF should not go further unless and until we enough transparency on its goals, methods, etc., such that everyone can debate its merits and demerits. As it is, we can’t be confident of what’s proposed. Distrust is justified; trust must be earned.
The petition places a premium on real estate churn to the detriment of residents with incomes below 50% AMI. The resulting property value increases will lead to rent and property tax increases that may force these residents out of their neighborhoods without providing anywhere else for them to live.
Fist up! Fight back!
I have tried for 5 years to repair sidewalk and still waiting.

As a resident and a homeowner of the west end this can not be allowed to pass. This unselected & unaccountable shadow government need not to be allowed to pass legislation that will effectively take MORE of OUR money THIS HAS TO STOP.
