Urban Renewal Agency performance and debt

Tax increment revenue has grown more slowly than projected after big investments like Independence Landing, so the agency is focusing on paying down roughly $18.6 million in debt rather than funding new projects. The adopted budget directs nearly all $1.6 million to debt service through FY 2045-46.
