Stark Truss Exemption Questioned by County Officials
Ottawa County commissioners will meet with Stark Truss Co representatives and Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce leader Lou Atherton to discuss a possible tax exemption. The group will assess whether Stark Truss should keep its exemption given claims of retail activity and nonexempt use of a facility. The Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing advised that manufacturing storage or research use must be maintained exclusively, and the exemption would require Board of Tax Appeals approval. The April 30 meeting at 8:30 a.m. aims to resolve whether Stark retains tax status despite controversy and pending formal actions.
