The board of the West End Opportunity Partnership voted 9-9 on the proposal at a special meeting that considered the $2.1 million request 

The measure allows other projects in downtown Louisville to seek the same types of tax subsidies the arena uses

Louisville would rebate $5.3 million in local property taxes for the project under an ordinance introduced at Metro Council this week

The West End Opportunity Partnership will decide how to spend revenue from a sprawling tax increment financing (TIF) district across Louisville’s western neighborhoods

The vote marks a win for the development team proposing a hotel, offices and other buildings in Paristown Pointe

A $20 million tax subsidy is one of the final approvals needed for the planned redevelopment of abandoned government-owned land in the Paristown Pointe neighborhood. 

The tax increment financing (TIF) ordinance moves to the full council, which could take it up as early as September 19.
