On April 29, 2020, the Village of Winfield proposed splitting the current Winfield TIF into two portions, TIF 1 which would operate through 2027 and TIF 2 which would be a new TIF and operate potentially through 2043. Since this time, the Winfield School District 34 has sought to learn more about the proposed TIF and how it would impact the financial future of Winfield School District 34 and the taxpayers of Winfield 34.
While the Winfield School District 34 has yet to take a formal position on the TIF, many important conversations have been had. Here are some of the resources the Board has used to learn more about the TIF 2 proposal:

This week Moody’s completed their annual analysis of our financial position. This year they have made the decision to upgrade our general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) rating to Aa3 from A1. This means that if the Winfield School District 34 community were to approve our referendum, we would be eligible for better financing rates and have an easier time selling our bond. While analyzing our debt rating is an annual process, upgrading our financial status does not occur very often. We are glad to have been recognized for our solid financial practices that have put us in a position to minimize the cost of borrowing for our community. Here is the full credit opinion developed by Moody’s.
