He said he would look forward to something going on there besides parking, adding he expects to be talking with the mayor about further plans in the near future. Other owners of property in the block, who live in New York, know nothing of the plans, he said, and their representative at Bank, who holds the land in trust, said he has not been contacted by the mayor. Plans for the center were unveiled by the mayor in December, when he announced he would like to see the block added to the area presently eligible for tax increment funds. He said he envisioned a development of office space, restaurants and theatres, to which cramped Tracy-Col-li- ns government offices could move. The proposal has been handed to the city redevelopment agency, who must conduct a study to determine whether the block can qualify for tax increment funds. An agency spokesman said he expects the study to begin within two weeks. Tax increment funds are generated by taxes on propdistrict erty within a 13-blo- ck in downtown Salt Lake City. Currently, those funds are helping to finance plans to improve sidewalks along Regent, Broadway and State streets. Architect Neils Valentiner has been designing the Broadway and State Street imrpovements as part of a master plan for beautifying the entire downtown area.
