Gautier City Council voted to approve TIF bonds for development

Gautier City Council voted to approve the use of TIF (Tax Increment Financing) bonds to develop an area near Highway 57 for the creation of a medical complex, hotel, and retail development.

The council was also supposed to vote on whether or not to allocate reimbursement to a developer seeking to build an outpatient surgery center; however, the item related to the clinic was taken off the agenda. It will be voted on at a later date. 

The city’s goal is to use taxes created by the clinic to pay the developer for infrastructure in the area, such as roads, lights, and water, that the city would later build off of to further develop the area.
