City of Mesquite, Texas Page 5 City Council Minutes - Final May 15, 2023 Kim Buttram, Director of Economic Development, and Cindy Smith, Director of Finance, presented Item Nos. 12, 13 and 14. Ms. Buttram stated that Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) No. 12 (IH-20 Business Park) was created on June 4, 2018, by Resolution No. 31-2018, to provide a funding mechanism for the improvements needed to develop the land for commercial use. TIRZ No. 12 is a 50 percent TIRZ which would put 50 percent of the real property value in the TIRZ Zone into an allocated account for projects. This TIRZ continues until 2051. The first amendment to TIRZ No. 12 in 2021 expanded the TIRZ Zone. She stated that tonight, we are proposing a second amendment to update feasibility numbers. TIRZ No. 12 contains 1,053 acres, 58 parcels and 21 property owners and includes the Airport Logistics Center (Dalfen Industrial Area), Airport East Business Park, Mesquite Metro Airport and IH-20 Business Park and Retail Area.
