A seven-member committee tonight will rate and rank seven applicants asking for various dollar amounts, from $10,000 to $590,000, of the property tax fund reserved for redevelopment of the Bahama Village neighborhood.

The proposals total well over $1 million, while this year's estimated Tax Increment Financing (TIF) fund is $847,000.

That's all tax...

Just say no

If you live in Bahama Village you better pay attention to the item labeled "Petronia street". This is actually every cross street in Bahama Village and a project to put in huge sidewalks and eliminate tons of parking in the process. Not one person was supportive of this at the public meetings but The City doesn't care when there is a project for The Toppinos."improved connectivity" means more traffic and tourist cars flooding the neighborhood going from Duval to The Cruise Ship Circus "park" at Truman Waterfront. Get ready to see your neighborhood finally destroyed. No parking, huge sidewalks, and a flood of new traffic down every street in The Village. Wake up and bang down Lopez' door to get him to do sonething to stop this! Now, they are going to use our own tax money to ruin the neighborhood?!?! What balls!

Joke

Quite the dedicated committee. Unable to hold meetings in October and December due to lack of quorum.
