Commission approves economic-development tax break for Silverdale Quality Stone
Summary
Cowley County commissioners approved Resolution No. 2026-02, granting a declining economic development exemption to J & N Land and Cattle LLC dba Silverdale Quality Stone starting at 100% and decreasing 10% annually.
During a public hearing opened by Chairman Jim Maxwell, Jessica Falk, the county's Economic Development Coordinator, presented Resolution No. 2026-02 for J & N Land and Cattle LLC doing business as Silverdale Quality Stone.
Falk explained the EDX calls for a declining property tax exemption that begins at 100% in the first year and reduces by 10 percentage points each subsequent year until the property is fully taxed. Vice Chairman Alan Groom moved and Commissioner Wayne Wilt seconded approval; the motion passed 3-0.
The minutes record no public opposition and no further conditions attached to the resolution. The exemption, as described in the resolution, phases out predictably over a multiyear period and was approved to support the business's local investment plans.
