Ann Arbor's DDA Plan Now Runs to 2055. Washtenaw County Opted Out Again.
Issue 6 logged this pairing: Ann Arbor extending its DDA TIF plan to 2055 while Washtenaw County, which set the PA 57 opt-out precedent covered extensively in Issues 2 and 3, declined to participate a second time. The county's repeat opt-out under a well-managed DDA suggests the accountability argument from the original 7-0 vote wasn't a one-time objection to a specific plan; it's becoming a standing county position.
