A community improvement district (“CID”) may be created for the purpose of financing a wide range of public facilities, improvements or services within a municipality. A CID may fund public facilities or improvements within its boundaries. A CID may also provide a variety of public services within its boundaries. A CID may also demolish, renovate or rehabilitate any building or structure, if the area has been found blighted and the governing body of the municipality has determined that such action is reasonably anticipated to remediate the blighting conditions and will serve a public purpose. §§ 67.1401 – 67.1475 RSMO

A CID is different from a TDD. A TDD can only finance transportation-related improvements, while a CID can finance a wide-array of public improvements and services. A TDD can finance improvements that benefit the property within the boundaries; a CID generally cannot spend money on projects outside of its boundaries. TDD bonds can have a 40-year maturity, while CID bonds are generally limited to 20 years.
