Kresge may bring tax relief with Sharon Hill purchase
The Kresge Co of Troy Mich plans to buy the Sharon Hill property for 8.2 million dollars to serve as East Coast warehouse and distribution center. It would create about 125 to 150 jobs initially and up to 400 later, boosting the borough real estate tax base and possibly reducing the 1974 70 mill increase through 1 percent realty transfer tax sharing with Southeast Delco School District. Delaware County officials note an assessment review may follow the sale, with financing possible from the Delaware County Industrial Development Corp and PIDA backing up to 30 percent of costs.
