Alma City sets Nov. 25 hearing for Avalon and Tahoe manufacturing tax-exemption amendment
Summary
The commission set a public hearing for Nov. 25, 2025, to consider an amended industrial facilities tax-exemption certificate for Avalon and Tahoe Manufacturing’s Building B expansion after staff said project costs exceeded the original application and the amendment must be returned to the state for approval.
Alma City — The Alma City Commission voted to set a public hearing for Nov. 25, 2025, at 6 p.m. to consider an amended industrial facilities tax-exemption certificate for Avalon and Tahoe Manufacturing related to a Building B expansion.
City staff (Speaker 4) explained the amendment is necessary because project costs came in higher than in the company’s original local application and the amended certificate must be forwarded to the state for approval along with a local resolution. The commission approved scheduling the hearing by motion and voice vote.
Why it matters: Industrial facilities tax-exemption certificates can affect local property tax receipts and the economic competitiveness of manufacturing projects; a local resolution and public hearing are required before the application is resubmitted to the state.
What’s next: The public hearing will provide residents an opportunity to comment before the commission considers a resolution to forward the amended application to the state.
