BUTLER â With a 3-0 vote, Butlerâs Economic Development Commission Friday recommended that Therma-Tru be granted 10-year tax abatements for a planned $43.6 million expansion of its facility at 601 R.E. Jones Road.
The recommendation now goes to Butlerâs City Council, which will consider the request at its meeting Monday.
The three-member EDC board â Jay Jacobs, Dawn Mason and president Rick Walters â all voted in favor of the abatements.
Therma-Tru plans to build a 23,000-square-foot addition to its facility at the south end of Butler to house new manufacturing equipment, including six new presses. The company also plans to hire 53 people.
