WEDA Academy:

Affordable Housing Through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) in Whitewater, WI, and Beyond.

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 

1:00 - 2:30 pm

Description: 
Discover how Whitewater is converting TIF surplus into real housing solutions—and how your community can replicate the model. City Manager John S. Weidl and redevelopment advisor Kristen Fish-Peterson will walk through:
• A new $1.9 million Affordable Housing Fund seeded with retired TID revenues and structured for down-payment aid and developer incentives.
• Zoning innovations such as the R-1S small-lot district that lifts density and reduces lot sizes without sacrificing neighborhood character.
• An active pipeline of 185 TIF-supported units—from Meadowview Court duplexes to a 128-unit multifamily project—and the financing math behind them.
• A live poll that lets attendees benchmark their own housing supply, barriers, and tools in real time.
Join this WEDA webinar to leave with ready-to-use policy templates, project pro-formas, and outreach resources that scale well beyond Whitewater.
