Lawton RISE Project Plan / Increment Districts

Description

The council voted unanimously to start the formal process on a RISE project plan using Local Development Act increment districts to spur new home construction, with about 20% more incentive dollars aimed at redevelopment areas. No areas are designated yet — a review committee and Planning Commission review come next.

Impact summary

If adopted later, the plan would use increment financing to level the playing field for builders inside Lawton, boosting housing supply and neighborhood property values.
