    • Re: payback plan -- EDC only gets 1/4 of every sales tax dollar so over the next ten years the businesses will have to generate 600,000 in sales tax just to re-coup EDC funds of 150,000., 19:05:38 02/06/18 Tue
      • Re: payback plan (NT) -- Its not just the EDC that recoups its the city in more taxes!, 07:52:50 02/07/18 Wed
      • Re: payback plan (NT) -- Sorry, your math is flawed. EDC gets 1/4 of a cent of every sales tax dollar. To recoup $150,000, you would need sales of $60,000,000., 17:01:55 02/07/18 Wed
        • Re: payback plan (NT) -- Or, $600,000 per year. But, in ten years, the valuation of the dollar will be much less, so the equation will change greatly to recoup that dollar amount in future dollars., 17:05:02 02/07/18 Wed
          • okay, lets do the math. EDC gets 1/4 of every penny. It takes a 100 pennies to make a dollar. A quarter of that would be .25 cents. (NT) -- Another CISD Einstein... obviously, 05:48:06 02/08/18 Thu
            • Re: okay, lets do the math. EDC gets 1/4 of every penny. It takes a 100 pennies to make a dollar. A quarter of that would be .25 cents. (NT) -- Look at percentages. Total,city sales tax is .02 per dollar. The EDC tax is .0025 per dollar. Divide .0025 by the funds invested ($150,000). My CISD math gets me 60,000,000. That is,the amount,of sales required, no matter what the time frame is, to reap,$150,000., 19:39:20 02/08/18 Thu
              • $$$$$$$ (NT) -- Big Bucks (Come one, come all), 10:28:31 02/09/18 Fri
                • Re: $$$$$$$ -- Yes, if you are willing to invest hundreds of thousands of your own money and sign a personal guarantee to repay the incentive to get the ball rolling on redevelopment, PLEASE COME!, 08:36:04 02/10/18 Sat
