PUBLIC HEARING |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
a. |
|
|
Public Hearing on the adoption of an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 13-13, which Amended Ordinance No. 04-42 to nominate Union Carbide Corporation to participate in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program.
Kristin Edwards, Director of Economic Development, stated The City of Texas City was approached by a third-party consultant hired by Union Carbide Corporation, i.e., Dow Chemical, to pursue a Texas Enterprise Zone designation for a $37 million project. A Texas Enterprise Zone is a State sales and use tax refund program designed to encourage private investment and job creation in economically distressed areas of the state. The City’s role is to provide an updated list of available incentives in the community, which Dow can reflect in their state-level application, and to nominate the project for enterprise project status. The City has not committed to, nor is expected to, provide any of the incentives listed in the attachment to Dow Chemical. With the City Commission's approval, Union Carbide Corporation will move forward with its application to the State of Texas for an enterprise zone designation.
Henry Gomez, resident, stated he was in opposition to the ordinance and asked a few questions. Kristin Edwards was able to address the questions. |
