"Redevelopment commissions use commercial property taxes to fund redevelopment projects, often infrastructure for incoming businesses like roads and sewers. Bill author Phil Boots, R-Crawfordsville, said school boards should have a voice, because those taxes otherwise would go to school districts, counties and other governmental entities within the same jurisdiction. Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville, said school districts are most impacted of all of the governmental units by the redevelopment commissions and deserve a vote. He is sponsoring the bill in the House."
