Tax increment financing; special rules authorized for the city of Maplewood.

HF 157 creates special tax increment financing (TIF) rules for Maplewood’s "3M Renovation and Retention Project Area" (parcel 362922240002). It waives standard TIF requirements like the 90% rule and expenditures outside district rule, extends the project timeline from five to ten years, and defines specific geographic boundaries for development. The bill directly affects Maplewood’s city government and its economic development authority, enabling them to use future tax revenue from the project area for redevelopment without standard restrictions. It expires December 31, 2018, unless Maplewood complies with state administrative procedures.
