An Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) is a tax increment financing mechanism that help local agencies finance a broad range of infrastructure work and other projects that enhance the economic vitality of an area. The EIFD can serve as a tool to help individual or multiple local agencies fund major, critical major infrastructure projects to enhance the future growth and quality of life for the communities they serve. 

Recognizing the value of this tool, the City of Pittsburg formally established the Pittsburg EIFD on July 21, 2025, creating a citywide EIFD that is projected to bring in over $225 million dollars over its 50-year lifespan, specifically dedicated towards local infrastructure projects. These funds can also be utilized to leverage additional funding towards infrastructure projects, bringing further investment towards the Pittsburg community.

The Pittsburg EIFD is governed by a Public Financing Authority (PFA) separate from the Pittsburg City Council and meets twice annually on a regular basis during the first Monday of May and November at 6 PM. The current members of the PFA Board of Directors are as follows:

• Jelani Killings, Chair
• Dionne Adams, Vice-Chair
• Juan Banales
• Nancy Parent
• Gerard D'Cruz, Member of the Public (to 09/16/2028)

The Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP) serves as the guiding document for the Pittsburg EIFD, providing a list of projects and detailing the structure and finances of the Pittsburg EIFD. A copy of the most current IFP can be found through the following link.
