Are these questions meant to be rhetorical?  All of these projects are in various stages of 'concept' with conversations happening as to what they might look like.   Part of this process is finding out what mounts of $ from public funds might be available for these projects.  This will inform the concepts which can then be adjusted and adapted.  This is a back and forth process that is iterative, not one where a completed proposal is submitted.  Part of this process is what you see.  This is not a decision to fund these.. this is a decision to extend a tool for funding for possible use toward these projects.  If the vote were 'no' the process would shift to finding other ways to proceed (or just dropping the ideas altogether).  If the questions are not rhetorical, please respond to this message and I will let the people with the information know and they can get you more detailed info on each project as well as explain the unfortunately complex mechanics of tax increment financing.
