Proposed new, Eastgate tax increment financing district

The city held an open house on Monday about establishing the tax increment financing district along the Mississippi River and border with East Moline.

The proposal is part of the city's new Eastgate TIF Redevelopment Plan on the eastern edge of the city along the Mississippi River.

The project's boundaries are roughly from:

4th Avenue, Illinois Highway 92, to old River Drive
48th to 55th Street which is also known as 1st Street in East Moline.

Businesses in the proposed TIF district include the Catfish Charlie's, Parr Instrument, and Factory of Fear.

At Monday's open house, Moline staff presented an overview of the Eastgate TIF Plan and Project. A copy of the plan is available at the city clerk's office.
