Chesterfield supervisors wind down Stonebridge development authority
The Chippenham Place Community Development Authority (CDA), which was created in 2008 to support the creation of the Stonebridge mixed-use center, has been dissolved.
The Chesterfield Board of Supervisors voted last week to wind down the authority, according to a county news release.
The CDA was established as a backstop for the tax increment financing (TIF) structure tied to the project that redeveloped the old Cloverleaf Mall.
Though it didn’t end up happening, the CDA would have levied a special assessment on property owners within the authority’s boundary to cover any deficit in the incremental taxes created by the development project needed to cover debt service. County staff have determined the authority won’t be needed in the future.
There is still $8.8 million in outstanding debt from the Stonebridge project, and tax revenue created by the project is sufficient to cover the debt, according to the county.
