From today's Winnipeg Free Press:
Premier Greg Selinger, Mayor Sam Katz and property developer Qualico are expected to attend a 10:30 a.m. press conference in the Exchange District to announce the province's tax-increment financing program, a funding mechanism that allows new taxes that flow from new developments to further fund those same developments or others within blighted areas of a city.
Here is some background on the Province's TIF Program
