taxpayers, and other taxing bodies Pnor to BMSO, collectIon of tax mcrement revenues for a renewal agency resulted m an Increase m the taxpayer's property tax rate Taxmg bodIes suffered no revenue losses, unless there was overall compress !On of property tax revenues Revenues Foregone by Affected Taxmg Bodies Table 8 shows the antIcIpated cumulatIve Incremental values In the Renewal Area over the lIfe of the Plan and the antIcipated property tax revenues foregone as a result oftaxmg bodIes not being able to apply their penn anent BMSO tax rates to those values Present Value of Revenues Foregone Table 8, the revenues foregone, prOVIdes a Present Value calculatlOn of the revenue foregone over a twenty year penod In thIS cakulatlOn, the annual revenues foregone by the taxing bodIes are dIscounted by 3 5% That produces a lower, realIstIc pIcture of the present day revenues that mIght be foregone by the taxing bodIes over the lIfe of the plan Two addItIonal notes should be made about revenues foregone by affected taxing bodies One, Tables 8 and 9 both assume that all the new values m the Downtown Renewal Area would occur, even WIthout the Investment of urban renewal funds It IS more realIstIc to assume that the publIc expendItures on renewal actIvItIes WIll have ;ome effect on the growth of values wlthm the urban renewal area If one makes that assumptIon, some of the values whIch are used to calculate revenue foregone would not matenalIze at all ThiS assumptIon IS not made, here, but If It were used, It would further reduce the revenues foregone by the affected taxmg bodies Two, some WIll look at the total revenues foregone, and assume that the total shown IS lost Immediately As the revenue foregone tables show, these revenues are foregone annuallv. over an extended penod ot tune, not all at once GIven the sIze of the total budgets of the taxmg bodIes, the annual revenues foregone usually represent only a mmor percentage of theIr total budgets Impact on
