Tax abatements spark debate in Lawrence over Eagle distribution center
The Lawrence City Commission weighs an 80 percent property tax abatement for an American Eagle Outfitters distribution center at East Hills. KU studies show a 14 year break-even on taxes vs forgiveness, while the project would add 250 jobs with an average wage around 19 296 dollars. The issue follows failures by E Display Group and Kantronics to meet abatement employment goals. Public hearing set for May 16.
