The City of Tempe is a dynamic and innovative community located in the heart of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Home to more than 190,000 residents and the Arizona State University Tempe Campus, the City is committed to advancing sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking policies that enhance quality of life for all. As part of these efforts, the City is exploring the potential of tax increment financing (TIF) as a tool to support targeted redevelopment and economic growth. Students from the School of Public Affairs will research the structure, benefits, and challenges of TIF implementation in comparable cities, engage with key stakeholders and city staff, and produce two deliverables: an internal report with literature review and case analysis, and a persuasive policy brief outlining a proposed TIF model suited to Tempe’s needs.
