Enhanced Infrastructure Districts (EIFDs) are a new tool created by California legislation that allow local governments greater flexibility to fund infrastructure and community development projects. EIFDs can be formed by cities or counties to invest in public facilities and projects of community significance. They have more power than previous funding mechanisms, including a lower voter approval threshold of 55% to issue bonds. EIFDs also have broad discretion over what types of public and private development projects they can support through financing and public-private partnerships.
