IOWA CITY, Iowa — The Iowa City Council has approved more than $12 million in tax increment financing for a downtown development designed to revitalize and preserve the character of the Pedestrian Mall.

The $54.4 million project involves designating buildings as historic landmarks in order to renovate and preserve them.
