Five existing abatements were reviewed for compliance by the Montgomery County Council. The review is mandated by statute. The entities operating with abatements must present a report showing their entity is compliant with the terms of the abatement.
The five entities were Steel Technology, Crawfordsville 5 Solar Array, Darlington Solar Array, Waynetown Solar Array and IMPA Ladoga Solar.
All five entities provided proof of meeting requirements to keep their abatements and the resolutions stating compliance were approved.
The council held a public meeting concerning the abatement application from Nucor Towers and Structures. No public comments were received.
The manufacturer is being considered for two abatements. The first abatement is for real estate property including improvements. The second abatement covers the personal property. Each abatement is for 10 years as requested by Nucor Towers.
Council approved a request from the county commissioners to transfer funds in the amount of $205,000 from the county’s Cumulative Capital Development Fund to the Building Improvement Fund. The money will pay for replacing the roof on the Montgomery County Government Center. Dry Bone Roofing was awarded the contract.
The next council meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 8 at the government center.
