This map shows the 80-block section of Downtown to be included in a proposed Tax Increment Financing District, or TIF. Increased earnings from real estate taxes within the district would be used to pay off $330 million in borrowing for a new Coliseum and other public projects. The proposed boundaries for the TIF district are the Downtown Expressway, 1st Street, Interstate 95 and 10th Street. The blue-color blocks represent sites where the new Coliseum, a new convention hotel, restaurants, office buildings and new apartments would be built.
