STAR is not TIF, but it works very similarly, thus the phrase "TIF-like." They both use some of the tax generated by the new development to help pay for the roads, sewers, etc. that are built for it. One difference is that a STAR subsidy includes the state's share of the tax, in addition to the city's share that would normally be used in TIF.
The speedway itself received an unprecedented tax break... It won't pay any taxes for 30 years. None, zero, nada. By the time it goes back on the tax rolls it will be ready for a major overhaul, which will likely be subsidized again.
Well Once again I am 100 percent completely totally WRONG in every sense of the term. as in NOT right at all.
