Manchester's Board of Aldermen conditionally approved the "Raise" TIF district after the underlying development project's scope was reduced from its original proposal, a middle path between Skowhegan's outright rejection of a TIF proposal (Issue 3) and simple rubber-stamping. Conditional approval only carries real force if the conditions attached include enforceable clawback language tied to the project's final delivered scope.

Watch: The specific conditions attached to the approval, and whether they include any mechanism to revisit district terms if the project scope shrinks further before completion.
