Lafayette Square SBD

From the Lafayette Square Special Taxing District Steering Committee:

“We would like to thank all of our Lafayette Square neighbors who attended an info session, provided input, and asked questions about the Special Taxing District proposal. The most common piece of feedback we have received is that you want more details, particularly what specific projects and initiatives would be funded. Based on that input, we have decided to postpone filing for the August election.

The Steering Committee will use this time to develop an initial proposal that includes details on the cost, background, and rationale for specific projects and initiatives that could be funded by a Special Taxing District. Then we will share that information with the community so that you have the full picture and can provide informed input. Next we will provide opportunities for the community to share feedback through an online survey and in-person sessions. We will use that feedback to make any necessary changes to the proposal. Then, we will share the final proposal, and provide opportunities to answer any remaining questions.

Our goal has always been to work in the interest of the Lafayette Square Community. We believe adjusting the timeline will ensure the Lafayette Square community has meaningful opportunity to shape the proposal in a transparent process. We look forward to continuing to engage with you, and will provide an updated timeline in the near future.”
