Park district rejects full tax abatement extension in Carbondale
Carbondale Park District refused to extend a 100 percent tax abatement for Intertape Polymer Group at Bicentennial Industrial Park. The panel calculated a $2,500 first year tax loss and noted tax caps would erase gains if not captured immediately. The district also adopted a 3 percent across the board pay raise and reclassified some positions. Six people joined the recreation subcommittee: Mariela Agrawal, Dominic Cittadino, Juliana Cross, Regina Glover, Milton McDaniel, Georgia Wessel. A soil remediation contract for 1212 W Main St. was approved with Wheatley/White Construction for 44,904.50. EPA will reimburse all but 10,000. The 1999 fire damaged the maintenance building and contents, costing about 450,000.
