Funding Method

LDFA was funded by a portion of the property taxes from the properties located within the district. The LDFA Board then determined how the funds would be utilized, which directly or indirectly benefited all properties within the district. The development plan provided for marketing and administration expenses to CMU Research Corporation (CMURC) and Middle Michigan Development Corporation (MMDC).

The plan also provided for possible improvements to sidewalks, street lights, water, sewer, signage, landscaping, etc. Improvements followed City standards and the CMU Covenants and was made in whole or in part with SmartZone tax Capture.

In November 2022, it was determined that all activities in the plan have been fulfilled. Click the image below to view the Notice of Dissolution of the LDFA and Disposition of Assets Agreement.
