Kim WhiteAfter questions arose from the Hamilton County Commission, the River City Co. has altered details of a 10-year tax incentive program to entice developers to build new apartments downtown.
But commissioners — who are involved in the plan because it involves property taxes, which the commission manages — said they still plan to question the structure of the program.
Kim White, CEO of River City, a downtown development company, said the organization changed the program this week to give the commission and the Chattanooga City Council approval power for each project.
“We have changed the ordinance to read that they would have to approve each project, and I’ve had conversations with Commissioner Joe Graham,” she said.
Graham’s District 6 includes the downtown area.
