SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: TIF FUNDING & VILLAGE ROADS

As discussion continues regarding the petition to dissolve the Village of Cleves, residents deserve accurate information when evaluating the future of our community.
One of the claims circulating in support of dissolution is that if the Village were dissolved, Miami Township's TIF funds could be used to repair Village roadways.
That claim has now been publicly addressed and disproven.
During a recent Miami Township Trustees meeting, township officials confirmed that their existing TIF funds cannot be used for Village of Cleves roadway projects as has been suggested.
The full meeting video is attached. Residents are encouraged to watch the discussion for themselves beginning at the 1:12:00 mark through approximately 1:13:45. We encourage everyone to hear the information directly from township officials.
Regardless of where you stand on dissolution or the proposed 1% municipal income tax, decisions of this magnitude should be based on verified facts, not assumptions or misinformation.
If Village Council adopts the proposed 1% municipal income tax, the Administration's first recommended infrastructure priority is the complete repaving of Edgefield Road and New Pine Road as soon as possible.
We also invite you to join us for our sixth public meeting on this matter on Wednesday, July 29, at 6:30 p.m. at Cleves Town Hall.
We remain committed to transparency, open discussion, and ensuring every resident has the information necessary to make an informed decision about the future of our community.
Watch the video. Attend the meeting. Ask questions. Make your decision based on facts.
