Commissioner Bailey moved to deny the proposed abatement and Commissioner Wooley seconded. Judge Baedeker called for the vote; the court recorded unanimous approval of the motion to deny.
Why it matters: Counties sometimes negotiate tax abatements to attract large employers or capital investments. The court’s decision ends the county’s consideration of the abatement request for this prospect without public terms being approved. No additional financial incentives were authorized for Project Trento at the April 28 meeting.
What happened in executive session: The court said it met in closed session under the statutory economic-development exception; after returning to open session commissioners made the motion to deny the abatement. No further details about the company’s proposal or the abatement terms were disclosed at the public meeting.
