Gene Pitts said he finally decided to speak out after noticing that Michelin and Milliken were getting extended tax breaks from Spartanburg County.
Pitts, director of operations at Marchel Industries in Spartanburg, said he s long wondered why smaller companies that pay the standard 10.5 percent property tax rate couldn t get the 6 percent rate that Michelin, Milliken and a host of other large companies get. I understand why we do it. We need big business here, Pitts, whose injection molding company was founded in 1992 and employs 34 people, told Spartanburg County Council earlier this month. My question is, are there any plans to make these kinds of tax breaks and incentives more equally available to small business owners who have operated and supported Spartanburg County long-term?
