County wide tax abatement doubts loom in Clermont
Clermont County faces doubts over a countywide tax abatement plan as Ford Motor Co eyes about 105 acres across State Route 32 for an engine plant near its existing site. If built, 1980s employment could reach near 25,000, while officials say ten firms are considering Clermont but want targeted abatements and infrastructure. Commissioner Harold Bissantz rejects a countywide program though. Local letters oppose O Bannon Creek sewer project and residents urge careful use of American-made purchases and bids reviewed by the highway engineer. Extension sought for 1977 real estate tax deadline to July 20.
