Located in the North Park community and encompassing much of the Peterson Industrial Corridor, the Peterson/Pulaski TIF district is characterized by older commercial properties along the northern portion of Pulaski Road and industrial properties along a nearby Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way. Surrounded by residential areas and institutional uses that limit the ability of local companies to expand, the 139-acre district is designed to foster improvements that enable existing businesses to meet their goals for growth while attracting new companies to vacant or underutilized space. Priorities include infrastructure investments along streets and alleys, upgrades to existing buildings and local utilities, and a variety of improvements that establish a safe and attractive work environment. Funds are also targeted for property assembly and leasehold improvements, job training and day care.
