The city of Paducah responded Wednesday to a lawsuit filed by local business owners against the cityâs proposed Tax Increment Financing district.
In November, 14 individuals and an LLC named Concerned Taxpayer of Paducah and McCracken County filed the suit to prevent Paducahâs current leadership from taking further action on the proposed TIF district.
Three new commissioners and a new mayor will be sworn into office in January.
In the cityâs response, filed on Nov. 23, it asked the suit be dismissed with prejudice.
Key allegations in the initial lawsuit included claiming the city falsely characterized parts of the project, misused funds for the project, omitted information about the TIF to the public and illegally used a city ordinance.
