Aurora City Council members are set to vote next week on establishing the review board and public hearing for a new tax increment financing district.

The proposed Farnsworth-Bilter TIF District is tied to the Hollywood Casino resort project at Farnsworth Avenue and Bilter Road, near the Interstate 88 interchange.

Aldermen meeting as a Committee of the Whole this week put the two ordinances regarding the TIF district on unfinished business for next week’s City Council meeting. Aldermen on the Finance Committee last week unanimously recommended the two ordinances.

The TIF district is contemplated as part of the incentives for the Hollywood Casino resort.
