Elise Bright, professor of urban planning, was quoted in a Houston Chronicle article about a controversy in Galveston concerning the city’s use of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones.
Bright told the Chronicle’s Harvey Rice that while the state originally created the TIRZ law for cities to use tax incentives to attract developers to blighted areas where they otherwise wouldn’t build, cities are using the loosely written law to create zones in unblighted areas.
