Deal continues on enterprise facility tax abatement plan
Mayfield of Enterprise Products would abstain from voting and sign a conflict form, but was absent. Enterprise will pay full taxes during the qualifying period while the plant is nonoperational and on the tax roll at 80 million afterward, fully taxable for interest and sinking through the agreement. The project aims to bring hundreds of construction jobs and many ancillary roles, with the district benefiting from lower recapture dollars and the state from short and long term jobs in Texas. 313 agreements allow tax base forgiveness to attract capital intensive projects, with costs borne by the state budget.
