Meets annually

Annually the Joint Review Board (JRB) for each Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) must meet to discuss the annual report filed with the State of Illinois. A JRB is initially established when a new TIF is under consideration and the JRB makes a recommendation to the City Council. The JRB is composed of certain taxing districts affected by the TIF. In Evanston this includes the School District 202 , School District 65, Oakton Community College, the City of Evanston, and Cook County. In areas where the taxing area of Ridgeville Park District is included, Ridgeville will also be part of the JRB for that TIF.

There are currently five active TIFs in Evanston:

Howard Ridge TIF #5
West Evanston TIF #6
Dempster Dodge TIF #7
Chicago Main TIF #8
Five Fifths TIF #9

For further information about the TIFs in Evanston, please view the City of Evanston's TIF page or contact the Economic Development Division at 847-448-8311.
