AUSTIN, Texas - We're getting an inside look from the developer of a controversial project in an area called "Dog's Head." The backstory: Last month, there was lots of pushback when Austin City Council approved the development to move forward on land recently annexed by the city.

The area will be a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ), which means, as property values and taxes in the area rise in increments, that goes into a fund to pay for the cost of building infrastructure.

The developer takes on the risk, not the city or tenants.
