At a Franklin City meeting, board members voted to approve the findings and to grant a five-year personal property tax abatement for case EVC2025-04, identified in the record as Rapid Prototype Typing and Engineering.
The motion to approve the findings was introduced by Speaker 1, a board member, who said, "I'll move to approve, the findings for case EVC 20 25Dash o 4 rapid prototype typing and engineering." Speaker 2, a board member, seconded the motion. After the vote, Speaker 2 asked for a motion on the length of the abatement and moved approval of a five-year term; Speaker 1 seconded. Both motions were adopted with members responding "Aye."
The board recorded the case identifier EVC2025-04 and congratulated the applicant. Speaker 2 noted the item will be taken to the Franklin City Council at an upcoming meeting: "We'll see you at the city council meeting." A specific city council meeting date and the detailed financial terms of the abatement beyond its five-year length were not specified in the record.
Because the transcript names and roles of the individual board members were not provided, the article attributes direct quotes to the meeting speakers as "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2," both identified in the record only as board members. The actions recorded were formal motions followed by voice votes approving the findings and the five-year abatement; no dissenting votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript.
The abatement will advance to the Franklin City Council for consideration at the next scheduled council meeting, noted by the board; any council action, additional conditions, or financial details were not included in the transcript.
