Liberty County Development Authority

PROSPERITY BY DESIGN, NOT BY ACCIDENT “More than 600 people are employed in Midway Industrial Park. More than 1,500 are employed in Tradeport East with 145 new jobs being added in the year ahead. In addition to creating these jobs, which provide livelihoods, put food on tables, and send kids to school, these businesses contribute to the local tax base. Recruiting industry in competitive site selection searches most often requires tax incentives, and the return to the community can be significant. The Target Distribution Center is a good example. Many communities wanted the project when Liberty County won it in 2007. The company committed to creating 500 jobs and now employs more than 800 people. Taxes on real property (land and buildings) were abated for 15 years, and personal property taxes (furniture and equipment) were abated for 10 years. Before LCDA acquired the property, it was valued at $576,310 and would have paid an average of approximately $8,661 per year in taxes. This means the total estimated loss of tax revenue over 15 years was $129,917. The tax assessor’s office determines valuations and taxes due, but with both abatements now expired, LCDA estimates the total gain to the county to be roughly $1.5 million in real and personal property taxes EVERY YEAR.” https://lnkd.in/erJ6QxMp
