The Romulus City Council on Dec. 8 voted to approve two brownfield-related motions concerning Welch Packaging.

Council concurred with the administration’s request to reimburse Welch Packaging in the amount of $200,327.31. Following that vote the council approved a separate motion to concur with administration and approve a suspension of tax capture under the Welch Packaging brownfield plan (described in the meeting as formerly Packaging Specialties). Both motions passed on voice/roll-call votes recorded as affirmative by the participating council members.

Council did not provide additional financial breakdown or terms in the public motion beyond the reimbursement amount and the suspension of capture action; the administration presented the items as part of routine brownfield administration and economic-development activity. The motions were moved and seconded and approved by the council without further discussion.
