Tax Increment Financing has been utilized by Anderson Township as an economic
development tool in the past. Most of the parcels potentially eligible for TIF
consideration already been placed into such a classification. However, recent
changes in state law regarding the use of such funds may allow for funds within
Anderson Township’s TIF program to be utilized for demolition or land acquisition efforts.

SUMMARY
The Anderson Township Ohio Riverfront area consists of environmentally sensitive areas, scenic
resources, and existing developments/investments that serve as catalysts to development
adjacent to the proposed Ohio River Shared Use Trail planned to run along the US Route 52
corridor.
Anderson Township recognizes the regional planning activities that pertain to the existing and
future uses of the Ohio River, along which the Anderson Township Riverfront is located.
Realizing this, this study will guide development along Anderson Township’s Ohio Riverfront in
the best interests of the community, preserving and enhancing environmental quality, scenic
and visual resources and land use value. By offering regulatory incentives (such as those
involved in cluster housing) to future development to preserve designated Environmentally
Sensitive Areas, create Greenspace, open space and recreational areas, and reducing
impermeable surfaces to reduce stormwater runoff, this Land Use Plan will serve as the guiding
vision for creative, and environmentally sound design solutions to all future development within
the Anderson Township Ohio Riverfront area.
