AC Grain requests tax abatement in Dana to expand corn‑cleaning operation, plans three hires
Summary
At the May 12 Town of Dana council meeting, representatives of AC Grain asked the council for a tax abatement to support an expansion to clean corn for pet‑food manufacturing; they said the project would create three jobs and would not increase local water or sewer demand. No formal vote was recorded.
At the Town of Dana’s May 12 meeting, representatives identified as John and Cameron from AC Grain asked the Town Council to consider a tax abatement to support an expansion of their corn‑cleaning operation to serve pet‑food manufacturing.
The company representatives said the expansion would create three new jobs and, according to their presentation to the council, would not require additional municipal water or sewer capacity. The council heard the request but did not record a motion or vote on the abatement during the meeting.
Why it matters: Tax abatements are a common local incentive for small industrial expansions that can affect the town’s tax revenue and economic development prospects. Council members did not reach a decision and did not set a date for a formal hearing on the request.
Next steps: The council will consider the formal abatement application and any staff recommendations at a later meeting or hearing; the minutes do not specify a timeline for action.
