Committee to address questions over tax abatements for solar projects


MUNCIE, Ind. — Delaware County Council’s Tax Abatement Committee will review previously approved tax abatements for proposed solar projects in northern Delaware County during a public meeting at 10 a.m. Jan. 9 at the Innovation Connector, 1208 W. White River Blvd.

The committee will consider questions relating to property tax abatements approved for the Meadow Forge and Hawthorn solar energy projects after the full council had discussed concerns about the abatements. The tax breaks were passed before objections to the projects, primarily Meadow Forge, were brought to the council’s attention.
