Commission backs Grayling Township concerns over SAAB PA-198 abatement request
Summary
Crawford County Controller reported SAAB has requested a 50% PA-198 tax abatement for eight years; the board voted to support Grayling Township's effort to protect county millages and asked to be 'made whole' for potential revenue loss.
County Controller Paul Compo told the board he understands SAAB is seeking a 50% tax abatement under PA-198 for eight years and that PA-198 can permit abatements of up to 12 years. Grayling Township Supervisor Lacey Stephan asked the county to submit a letter expressing concerns about the abatement's effect on county millages.
The board voted to support Grayling Township's position, with a motion asking that Crawford County be made whole should millage revenues be affected. The motion carried on a unanimous roll call. No specific dollar figures for expected revenue loss were provided in the minutes.
