It should also be noted that firms located in the DC Ballpark TIF area are specifically excluded from being Qualified High Technology Companies[https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/otr/publication/attachments/48605_FR-399_22416.pdf]. Checked the old version, and it didn't have dates either... so the labelling on [[TIF Project]] appears incorrect.

Note that we might be able to infer them, one by one, from financial statements or by looking at their creating acts: https://cfo.dc.gov/node/230912
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb3" WashingtonDC.kml -nln tifwashingtondc Houston - no longer exists... But we have the shape files from the previous round of work. http://data.houstontx.gov/dataset/city-tax-increment-reinvestment-zones-tirz now leads to a dead link for the zip, but it does say that the file was created June 30, 2017, 2:27 PM (UTC-04:00) and last updated July 20, 2017, 2:22 PM (UTC-04:00). Again, though, '''no dates'''!Can go one by one through the creation docs found at https://www.houstontx.gov/ecodev/tirz_info.html This site lists 27 TIRZ, whereas there are only 23 in the old data. Harris County says that it participates in just 5 Houston TIRZs [https://hcoed.harriscountytx.gov/tirz.aspx].
In z:/vcdb3/Houston:
shp2pgsql -I "TIRZ.shp" tifhouston | psql -U researcher -W -d vcdb3
drop table tifhouston;
In z:/vcdb3/HarrisCounty
shp2pgsql -I "TIRZ.shp" tifharriscounty | psql -U researcher -W -d vcdb3
drop table tifharriscounty;
See https://www.bostongis.com/pgsql2shp_shp2pgsql_quickguide.bqg for a cheatsheet for shp2pgsql.
 
Found City of Houston KML data here: https://cohgis-mycity.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/coh-tirz It doesn't have dates but does have 27 rows and was last updated 7/10/2019.
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb3" Houston.kml -nln tifhouston
 
One TIF had a null name, which was changed to UNKNOWN. By process of elimination, this was Village Enclaves (Terminated).
 
Found the dates in a review: https://www.houstontx.gov/finance/COHTIRZPerformanceAudit-FINAL(INCLUDINGAPPENDICES-NOMAPS).pdf
This was processed and extracted to E:\projects\agglomeration\TIF\HoustonDatesAndData.txt. Note that the total increment and project costs were $830,822k and $1,732,558k, respectively.
 
Also, the Texas Comptroller's office has a nice chapter on TIFs: https://www.cdfa.net/cdfa/cdfaweb.nsf/ordredirect.html?open&id=tifintexas.html
Dallas - downloaded 'latest' data [http://www.dallascad.org/GISDataProducts.aspx]. But no meta data is available. Shockingly, the data looks good and up to date. In contains legalstart and legalend fields for all 214 rows!
ogr2ogr -f PostgreSQL PG:"dbname=vcdb3" Atlanta.kml -nln tifatlanta
