Pole Yard TIF Assistance Program

Summary

Bozeman is drafting the application and scoring criteria developers will use to request tax increment money in the Pole Yard district, which struggles with old infrastructure and the Idaho Pole Superfund site. Board members want stronger language favoring avoidance of harm to wetlands and wildlife, and one resident wants more weight on placemaking and affordable housing.
