Research notes

Consolidated and replaced predecessor acts (1975 PA 197 DDA, 1980 PA 450 TIFA, 1986 PA 281 LDFA, 2005 PA 280 CIA, 2007 PA 61 NIA). Fiscal/programmatic overlay; zoning entitlements remain governed by MZEA. Used as a city-record flag to indicate active TIF districts that influence development economics and capital-stack feasibility (Detroit DDA, Grand Rapids DDA, Lansing DDA, Ann Arbor DDA, etc.).
