Critical Issues Luncheon // Demystifying TIFs

TIFs have become a prominent topic of discussion—appearing in news coverage, professional circles, and community conversations alike. Yet many questions remain: What exactly is a TIF? How does it function? What impact does it have on taxpayers, local development, and the broader community?

January’s Critical Issues Luncheon will provide clear, accessible answers to these questions. Join us as subject-matter experts explain the fundamentals of Tax Increment Financing, address common misconceptions, and offer insight into how these tools shape Rapid City’s long-term growth.

Those joining the panel will be:
- Tobin Morris | Managing Director - Colliers Securities LLC
- Talbot Wieczorek | Partner - Gunderson, Palmer, Nelson & Ashmore, LLP
- Patricia Acevedo Fuentes | Architect - Joseph David Associates LLC
- Shannon Rittberger | Director - Pennington County Department of Equalization
