2005 Senate Bill 175 ↩

Senate Roll Call 146: Passed

To authorize property tax abatements for property used for warehousing, distribution, or logistic purposes, or as a communication service center, if the facility is at least 150,000 square feet, and pays employees more than the average county wage. This was introduced after Performance Foods chose to locate a warehouse in Indiana rather than in Constantine, Michigan, near the Indiana border, but it could qualify other warehouses for a tax break, including a Wal-Mart facility near Mt. Pleasant (see <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-SB-434">Senate Bill 434</a>).
