The Department of Redevelopment is
created by local ordinance, as permitted under
Indiana Code 36-4-9,
36-7-14 and
36-7-14.5
Under state law, the department is
controlled by five commissioners, three of whom are appointed by the
mayor and two of whom are appointed by the City Council.
State law grants the Redevelopment
Commission the authority to issue bonds, to raise funds to carry out
programs and create a property tax levy to retire bonds. The debts
incurred by the Redevelopment Commission are subject to City Council
review and
Indiana Code 36-1-15, which limits the debt a municipality may
incur.
The Jeffersonville Department of
Redevelopment manages the city's Tax Increment Finance Districts and
its
Certified Technology Park finances. The
Department of Redevelopment's staff also manages the city's Urban
Enterprise Zones on behalf of the Jeffersonville Urban Enterprise
Association and the city's Revolving Loan Fund on behalf of the
Revolving Loan Committee, as a dedicated full-time staff is not
required for those programs.
The Department of Redevelopment has also
initiated several business development programs, including Grow
Jeffersonville.
