There was also discussion on the TIF Application for Hugo <br />Commons (former End Zone site). <br />Paul Steinman stated that the June 30, 2008 deadline to certify the district could be ignored <br />since there has not been any action in the district. He stated that March 2009 is the mandatory <br />deadline since that is three years from the date the first house was demolished.
