Scott City considers tax abatement plan to spur growth
The plan would grant up to 90 percent property tax abatement in year one and step down to ten percent by year six for new commercial or residential properties, with an effective start date if signed on Jan. 1. Officials say the incentive should draw new work and residents, aided by existing business and civic leaders. A public hearing had no comment, and examples include rebuilding Ford dealer Helmers Motors.
