The cities of Tinley Park, East Peoria, and Normal have developed
high quality conference centers and hotels which draw business
from Peoria. Springfield’s attractiveness has been greatly enhanced
by the Lincoln Museum. These improved competitors all received
substantial assistance from government, and will draw business
from downtown Peoria.
Our downtown hotels and other hospitality industry business
struggle to compete with these quality new developments.
The City can choose to compete or not to compete. The
proposed Hospitality Improvement Zone would assist existing
and new businesses invest, improve, and expand.
City Council has directed staff to present the potential HIZ TIF
to our sister governments and civic associations, and request
their input and direction.
Thank you for your consideration. We appreciate your viewpoint.
