plan to relocate WireTech Mfg. and create a new tax district which would
have paid for the project. The City would have paid WireTech $1 million for
its present factory on North 6th Ave. The City then would have razed the
building and used the site for a residential housing development. WireTech
would have received 6 acres in the industrial park to build a $3 million
plant. The project would have been financed through the creation of the
City's third tax increment finance (TIF) district.
