Columbus, OH. Last updated 8/8/2017. Downloaded full dataset [http://data-columbus.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/tax-increment-financing-areas?geometry=-112.588%2C-29.382%2C112.588%2C29.382], which should contain 69 records as a KML. URL in each record is out of date but just points to https://www.columbus.gov/development/economic-development/. Records '''have PASSAGE dates ''' but no end dates. They also have DTE_STATUS but it isn't clear that this really means anything (something to do with filling form DTE24?).

Washington, DC. Last updated 6/25/2019. Downloaded full dataset [https://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/tax-increment-financing-tif-areas], which should contain 17 records. There are '''no dates ''' and a quick search didn't find any. There's useful information here: https://cfo.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ocfo/publication/attachments/tx_tif_chapter_2020j.pdf
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.

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'''!

Vermont -- 12 records, last updated two years ago (4/7/2017), http://geodata.vermont.gov/datasets/cd53b08d40fc4e7dbc2757c36d038af5_7/data no dates available but one state contact (Megan Sullivan Executive Director, Vermont Economic Progress Council (802) 798-2221 Megan.Sullivan@vermont.gov) and an individual contact for each one. Dates are readily available from: https://accd.vermont.gov/sites/accdnew/files/documents/DED/VEPC/Tiff/TIFDISTRICTSstatus.pdf Other, more detailed info, is also available [https://accd.vermont.gov/community-development/funding-incentives/tif]. Note that Colchester was dissolved, having never become active and Milton has finished its debt service. TIFs get 10 yrs from approval to incur debt and then 20 yrs from debt to retain increment, which ends when debt service ends.
