Design District TIF District
The Design District TIF District is located just to the northwest of downtown, straddling Stemmons Freeway from roughly Wichita Street to Medical District Drive. It was established to assist in the transformation of the old Stemmons Industrial area into a diversified, pedestrian friendly, mixed-use neighborhood near the heart of Downtown Dallas. The mission of the Design District TIF District is to provide a source of funding for public infrastructure improvements to assist in redeveloping an industrial and warehouse district to take full advantage of the expanding DART light rail system, to promote transit-oriented development, to improve access to the Trinity River, and to enhance the quality of development adjacent to the Trinity Corridor.
