Rock Hill, South Carolina, Considers Deal With City Schools Over Downtown Revitalization Project.



The Rock Hill (SC) Herald (1/24, Smith) reports, "The Rock Hill City Council will consider an agreement tonight that would post police officers at several city schools in exchange for the school district continuing to let tax dollars go toward downtown revitalization." The resolution will let the city "move forward with the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, which calls for an extension of the Tax Increment Financing district - or TIF - in the downtown area and adds 10 acres." The school will need to give up $230,000 as part of the agreement to fund the downtown development area.
