This dataset contains all TIF districts established by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and Saint Paul Port Authority (SPPA) in the City of Saint Paul.  TIF Districts are organized hierarchically under their respective Project Areas.  Each project area grouping also includes a layer showing all the parcels that participate in TIF districts within that project area.
