Clerk: $10.8M Going To Urban Renewal
Item: Clerk: URAs to get $10.78M: It is important for each district to know tax numbers, Hayes says /Alecia Warren, Press
More here: “I’m not in favor of or opposed to the concept of urban renewal,” Hayes said. “It’s just a matter of reporting the facts as our office sees them.” The Hayden Urban Renewal Agency will collect $470,557 in tax dollars in 2011; Lake City Development Corp. will take in $5,621,041; Post Falls Urban Renewal Agency, $4,500,329; and Spirit Lake Urban Renewal Agency, $188,522.
