District financing plan and Project Financing Zone revenues
San Antonio
Summary
The city's $489 million arena contribution would be financed through Spurs lease revenue, guaranteed property tax increment, ground leases, and state PFZ revenues — now modeled at $1.9 billion over 30 years, down from earlier estimates of $2.1–2.5 billion. Excess PFZ revenue would help fund the convention center expansion and Alamodome improvements.

Impact analysis
PFZ revenue is now modeled at $1.9 billion over 30 years, and the first-year increment is tracking at only about $800,000 to $1 million.
The city's capital projects get funded without new general fund taxes if revenues perform.
If revenues fall short, hotel tax funds supporting arts, preservation, and Visit San Antonio could face pressure.
