Keys said the action could appeal to Harshaw Filtrol Partnership for a $7 million to $8 million expansion. Under the law the city would negotiate a financial break for each company and form a Tax Incentive Review Council including the mayor, a council member, the county auditor, and Elyria board of education member.

Abatements would be phased starting with a first year abatement then rising a fixed percentage each year until full tax payment resumes.
