FINLEN HOTEL SALE FINANCED BY TIF FUNDS

FINLEN HOTEL SALE FINANCED BY TIF FUNDS

The historic Finlen Hotel in Butte, which opened in 1924, has sold. The transaction was made possible in part to a $412,000 loan from Butte’s Uptown taxing district, the Urban Revitalization Agency (URA). The URA is a tax-increment financing (TIF) district, which generates funds by property tax dollars from new developments that are then re-invested in private buildings in the area through grants and loans.
