MAYOR WHITE may be a big fan of TIRZs, but The Examiner‘s Rusty Graham reports not everyone is so enamored:
TIRZ 17 and its projects have never been popular with residents of surrounding neighborhoods, many who challenge every move and decision the board makes. They say the TIRZ and its board are tools of Metro National, the real estate giant that owns or controls a majority of the property within the TIRZ.
TIRZ 17 is a city-initiated TIRZ, with a board appointed by the City of Houston.
