Could TIF Monument Ads Help City Collect More Sales Taxes?

Crystal Lake used to get a lot of money from sales taxes?

"35 Days Till Christmas" could read the advertising sign next year.

To keep the dollars flowing, the Crystal Lake City Council voted to hike the city’s rate by 75%.

Advertising shopping opportunities in the city might help repay the $16,000 apiece that the city paid to erect four monuments marking the eastern and western edges of the Virginia Street Corridor Tax Increment Financing District.

What do you think?

Is it worth a try?
