Last week, members of the public and the Board of Aldermen complained that the planned sales tax included in the CID would be imposed in a poor area to help a developer who has already been granted millions in city and state tax incentives.

On Wednesday, Green used her position as one-third of the powerful Estimate & Apportionment board to add to the criticism and ask for concessions before she could support the overall package.

Specifically, Green said a 40-year tax was too long. She suggested the CID should be terminated after 25 years — once the money it generates is no longer needed to help improve infrastructure.

Another concession Green asked for is community input over how portions of the revenue generated by the CID will be used.

Green proposed that some of the money should go toward paying for extra security for people who live in the area.
