Transportation Reinvestment Zone Resources

This paper was commissioned by the Wasatch Front Regional Council, the Utah League of Cities and Towns, the Utah Transit Authority, the Utah DOT, and Utah Association of Counties in response to the adoption of Utah Senate Bill 136 in 2018 authorizing TRZs. The purpose of the paper is to understand the purpose of the bill, possible application in Utah, and to consider whether changes are necessary to make the bill more useful as an economic development tool. The paper also discusses the distinction between TRZs and Utah's existing community reinvestment areas (CRAs) as an effective economic development agent.

This document presents the results of research conducted to evaluate the use of TRZs by local governments throughout the state. This evaluation had three main objectives:

• Summarize the legal framework, including the modifications made to the framework since it was first adopted.
• Describe the advantages and limitations of this financing tool through lessons learned during the implementation of municipal and county TRZs throughout the state and documented through interviews with stakeholders.
• Develop a model to analyze TRZ opportunities.
