19. Example Project Developer receives up to $125K (i.e., 2.5 times cleanup costs) to pay back bank for cleanup ($50K) and as an incentive ($75K) to take on the brownfield project risk. City gets jobs, blight removed, clean site, and all sales, income, franchise taxes over the $125K incentive. Property taxes not affected and will likely increase due to change in use.
