- Eligibility Studies, Plans, Amendments and District Adoption Support
- Incremental Property Tax Revenue Projections
- Pro Forma Financial Analysis and Deal Structuring
- Negotiation Support/Term Sheet Development
- Project and TIF District Compliance and Analytical Services
We have served, among others, the following suburban municipal clients:
