Plans for a TIF district near Milford gained momentum Thursday with the blessing of Kosciusko County Council. A third presentation in less than two weeks appears to have molded support for a proposal presented by Maple Leaf Farms for road improvements near its plant on county roads 200E and 900N. Although the plan is the first heard by Kosciusko County officials, tax increment finance districts already exist in three incorporated areas within the county - Warsaw, Milford, Pierceton - and another is planned in Winona Lake. According to information supplied by Rich Hill, a consultant with Baker and Daniels, TIF's popularity is as strong locally as any other part of the state. Forty to 50 communities in Indiana have established the economic financial development tool, he said.
