Weir incentive plan faces Odessa council rejection
The Odessa development panel backed a $14 million incentive for a $25 million Weir Center to consolidate three facilities and create at least 84 jobs. District 1, 3 and 5 opposed the zoning needed for the tax abatement. District 2 voted against. District 4 was absent. Critics argued the deal would move jobs and benefit Midland County. Perryman urged aggressive incentives to compete, while officials discussed trust and communication gaps between the city, ODC and council.
