What's LIFT All About?
  • Give cities and counties an essential tool to make the investments needed to create opportunities, foster quality of place, remain competitive, and secure our future for generations to come
  • Encourage home rule — let cities and counties control their own destiny with the resources to make investments for growth
  • Invest in parks, libraries, roads, neighborhood revitalization, transit and more — whatever the people decide!
