Mall tax break backed by panel despite criticism by schools chief
Elyria City Council's Finance Committee approved a 4.5 million tax abatement for Westlake based Jacobs Viscorisi & Jacobs Co. to fund a 26 million Midway Mall expansion. Superintendent William Halverson warned the move would burden the schools with about 3.4 million over 15 years, amid GM Fisher Guide plant closures cutting district revenue. The measure shifts taxes on new development while existing taxes on the mall maintain 313 thousand annually, and the project promises 332 new full time jobs and about 112 thousand in new annual real estate taxes.
