The complexity of the issues surrounding establishment of a tax increment financing district for the Hollywood Casino resort project were on display Tuesday night in Aurora.
The public hearing for establishment of the Farnsworth-Bilter TIF district on the Northeast Side brought them out, with people arguing for and against the proposed incentive before the Aurora City Council, which will make a decision on establishing the TIF district in January.
The TIF district was contemplated as part of a redevelopment agreement between the city and Penn Entertainment, Hollywood’s parent company, approved by the City Council on Oct. 26, 2022.
