Assuming partial value is realized in the first year (2017), the estimated abatement amounts are summarized above. The maximum abatement term for the City is up to 20 years if only 1 or 2 entities participate in the abatement or the City receives written denial of participation from one of the other taxing entities (County or School District). The company has previously requested participation from the School District and has received a letter of denial of participation. All participation levels and amounts would be subject to individual policy and Board decisions following anticipated public hearings. Revenues captured through tax abatement and provided as reimbursement to the property owner for certain costs must be used only for those properties that benefit from the tax abatement.
