From the Paper:

"According to an article in The Planning Report the 1977 court ruled that a cap be placed a $750 million cap on the amount of tax increment that could be abstracted from the Central Business District Redevelopment Plan. This cap was created to include the school district, the city and the county. This cap has created a major problem for urban development because the cap has already been reached. In 1977 the mayor and urban developers did not believe that the project would exceed the cap, but it did and now there is not enough money to complete the project."
