The plan, expected to create 50 new jobs over five years, exempts new equipment and facilities from the regular tax digest for 15 years as an inducement to invest. The 9-0 vote followed closed-door talks with officials from the Economic Development Partnership and the company’s attorney, with questions raised about legal phrasing and transparency.
