Henry Mestetsky, Executive Director of the Carmel Redevelopment Commission, explains how Carmel has used Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to spur large development projects and grow a vibrant, walkable downtown.

This 4-part series weaves together architecture, urban planning, local tax policy and awesome before-and-after pictures everyone can enjoy.

The benefit of Carmel's use of TIF was recently covered by this short documentary, which named Carmel "the best designed suburb in America."
