Belvidere could return $27K to taxing bodies - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star
The city is projected to return $27,000 worth of tax increment financing district money to the taxing bodies.

means bills for projects that the city already agreed to fund could trickle in over the coming months. If there is money still unspent, it would be dispersed among the taxing districts, Drella said.
