Board recommends Columbia Ford tax-incentive application to FiPAC
Summary
The Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to recommend Columbia Ford's Tax and Business Incentive Program application to FiPAC after review by Economic Development Commission members. Selectman Robert Hellstrom praised the applicant and said the project aligned with the program's purpose.
Deputy First Selectman Judy Ortiz presented an application from Columbia Ford, which built a new 8,400-square-foot KIA dealership building, and moved that the Board recommend the application to the Finance and Policy Advisory Committee (FiPAC) for discussion and approval. Selectman Robert Hellstrom — who said he serves as Chair of the Economic Development Commission for review purposes — described the application as precisely the kind of project the incentive program is meant to attract and supported forwarding it to FiPAC.
The motion to recommend Columbia Ford to FiPAC carried 4-0. The board did not take a final incentive vote; FiPAC review and any subsequent board action were presented as the next steps.
