A Tax Abatement has been proposed for the Emagine Theatre project, because the Township has been told that without it the project will not happen. The discussion and passage of the legislation to establish the Tax Abatement District was accomplished at a Special Meeting on May 23rd. In a near unanimous decision, the Board voted FOR establishing the Tax Abatement District.
In the online video of this meeting James Wickman, Township Manager provides an explanation of the proposed tax abatement district. We urge you to watch the entire video (see link below). Lots of good solid names spoke up publicly – Oldford, Kuhn, Nakagiri. They all make some interesting points.
