New construction and Real Estate value change are measured in a 1 mile radius between time of TOD reinvestment or construction to August 2020. [2] KPMG note the Romeoville Metra Station new construction data is measured by a 3-mile radius, unlike the other stations 1-mile radius measure due to its more rural location.

TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARY BASICS
what you should know
What is a TDD? Transit Development District
The main focus is on promoting Transit-Oriented Development. Transit development districts provide economic tools and strategies to support local communities to implement high-quality transit-oriented development. The goal is to create a boundary calibrated specifically for each community based on analysis, areas of opportunity and the goals and visions of the community.
This isn't just a boundary. It complements the economic growth path of communities.
Clarifying the TDD
TDD IS...
TDD IS NOT...
A 1/2 mile (320 acre) special economic development district approved by the State Budget Committee
Zoning or comprehensive planning
An effort to realize economic development in Northwest Indiana communities Formed by an analysis process that includes community-wide input, best practices and market analysis
A city or town-sponsored planning process Eminent Domain A partnership with developer or realtor A project designed to gentrify or to create low-income housing NICTD South Shore Double Track or West Lake rail projects
Statutory Requirements
Transit development districts are contiguous boundaries drawn around station areas, and must be no more than 0.5 square miles (320 Acres) in area.
Boundary Parameters and Geographic areas Illustrative Example - Not an actual proposed boundary
Statutory Requirements
Transit development districts capture the incremental growth in local income and property tax revenue, for use in public investment related to the station area.
TDD Revenue Parameters
Revenue collected from the district – is spent in the district. Local community retains land use and zoning control.
tif and tdd together TDD Function A TDD permits the capture of incremental property tax and local income tax revenues for the development of the area around the transit station The incremental revenue that is captured can only be used within the same district (e.g. increment captured in Munster will be spent in Munster) After the TDD expires, all of the TDD increment is transferred to the tax base If a TDD and a TIF overlap, the split of the incremental revenues between the TDD and TIF are negotiated by the RDA and the RDC
Statutory Requirements
After consultation with local communities, two public hearings must be held before the RDA approves the TDD boundaries for review and approval by the State Budget Committee.

TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARY PROCESS
how we’re arriving at the study area
TDD Boundary Process Visiting station areas
1 2
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THE STATION AREA
Preparing an initial market understanding/analysis Summarizing the community profile/demographics
Station area mapping
Research previous & ongoing community planning efforts
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS Listening to needs, preferences and development opportunities Presenting our reconnaissance and community impressions Learning of planning and real estate projects in the pipeline Touring the community and station areas
Work sessions to discuss and better understand issues that are specific to each station/community
TDD Boundary Process Where we are
3
DRAFTING THE BOUNDARY
Collaboration with NICTD on station requirements and optimization Identifying and integrating community preferences Understanding the market forces that influence economic development Understanding potential and suitability of surrounding sites Understanding supporting infrastructure
Mapping and preparing documents to share out findings and study area
TDD Boundary Process Next Stage in the process
4
REVISING THE BOUNDARY
Collecting and integrating community input
Update and create TDD draft boundary
Conduct first and second RDA public hearing
Defining the TDD Boundary The criteria we are using
Quantitative
Qualitative
Station context | Utilities | Walkability/connectivity
Redevelopment potential | Community desires
Cultural or civic assets | Barriers to redevelopment
Previous planning findings | Community vision
Buffers | Zoning restrictions
Future/planned projects
Area Specific Site analysis | Location analysis | Legal analysis Zoning/future land use | Potential property tax yield Existing public debt obligations | Impact
Area Development Opportunity Criteria Our area development opportunity criteria included the following... Current use
Proximity to station
Acreage
Ownership
Vacancy status
(Developable acreage)
(Public vs private, single vs. multiple)
(Occupied vs vacant lot/ building and notable condition)
Future land use or planned use
Zoning / allowable density / parking
Access / location / walkability
Conditions
TIF district / Opportunity Zone status
Comprehensive impact
(Utilities, infrastructure, flood/ wetland, slope, brownfield issues, other)

Dyer Current City Planning Effort (2019/2020) Sheffield and Main District SHEFFIELD & MAIN DISTRICTS OFFER 45+ ACRES OF REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Main Street Opportunities - encourage multi-family developments to bring more residents within walking distance of new station. East side of Sheffield Avenue - encourage new multi-family developments to bring more residents who can live in corridor and walk to commercial uses. West side of Sheffield Avenue attract smaller commerical uses along the street on new outlots.
