Waxahachie Daily Light
Mirroring what the Midlothian City Council approved a week ago, Ellis County Commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a property tax abatement and performance agreement for SunOpta Grains and Foods Inc. for its planned new facility in Midlothian’s RailPort Business Park.
The Commissioners’ Court approved an 8-year tax abatement agreement with SunOpta that will begin at the end of 2022, when the proposed facility is expected to be complete. The abatement amount will be 65 percent for the first four years, and 55 percent for the next four years. The abatement will apply only to new taxable value and to real property; inventory will be taxed at the full rate.
