Joint Economic Development District

Another program where the Delhi Township can collect additional tax revenues to assist in public infrastructure improvements and promote a sustainable commercial area is through a Joint Economic Development District (JEDD). This program provides a means for the township, which is very limited in its ability to acquire revenue, to work cooperatively with a municipality to incorporate a district where income taxes can be collected. Taxes within the designated district can only be accessed on those who work in the proposed JEDD area. Income taxes cannot be assess on residents within the township, unless they are employed within the JEDD area. It is anticipated that revenues from a JEDD will assist the township in certain necessary infrastructure projects and maintenance, while reducing the burden on township funds.

Community Improvement Corporation

Delhi Township has established a Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) to provide expanded economic development opportunities for the township. As a 501c3 organization, the CIC can assist economic development initiatives through grant opportunities and by purchasing, redeveloping, and selling blighted or underdevelopment properties.
