(Draft Map for the Salton Sea Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District)….It was approved recently.

The County Board of Supervisors had formed an Ad Hoc Committee to investigate the possibilities for creating Enhanced Infrastructure Finance Districts within Imperial County. Supervisor Ryan Kelley and John Renison were appointed to the committee. Since that time, the committee has met several times with county staff to discuss the concept. Though an EIFD may be helpful to project development in several areas of the County, the committee determined that priority should be given to the area around the Salton Sea. After meeting with consultants from the Southern California Association of Governments, which has a pilot program to assist local agencies who might be pursuing EIFD information. SCAG requested that the county provide a map of the area around the Salton Sea, so that they can conduct a preliminary feasibility study within the proposed EIFD boundary. SCAG is covering the cost of the study. The Draft Map has been prepared, and it was recently approved by the Board of Supervisors.
