York abatement deal eyed by Elyria City Council
Elyria awaits a 10 year tax abatement with York International to forgive up to 2 million in corporate taxes and create up to 500 jobs over the life of the agreement. The package includes 95 percent abatement on tangible property and inventory taxes for two years, tapering to 70 percent later, costing schools about 140000 annually in forgone taxes while netting 3400 in new tax dollars yearly and about 117000 in income tax from added 11 million in payroll. York seeks 2 to 3 million state aid for the Madisonville plant relocation, with the state offering 500000 to 600000. The council also plans two resolutions to gain resident support for a higher city income tax for police funding.
