The first item on the agenda was the 3-year tax abatement on equipment far EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Solutions). Helen Humes of the Morgan County Economic Development Corporation was present on behalf of EMS. The company was formed in 1994 and has been located in Marion County since that time. It is a small company, owned by three men who are all engineers, and poses no environmental concerns to the community. They are currently negotiating aseven-year lease with the owners of the Flagstaff Business Park an their spec building, which is 10,200 square feet. The owners of the building have agreed to make changes on the inside to make the building suitable for this particular company. EMS is planning to purchase the building at the end of the seven-year lease. They will be purchasing $260,000 in new equipment and moving their currrent equipment to the new building as well. On the tax abatement matrix they scored 14 points, which qualifies them for athree-year abatement. Councilman Bryant asked what the value of the equipment would be after the abatement expires. Helen Humes stated she did not have the depreciation schedule but could get it before the next meeting. President Worthen stated that the current equipment was not eligible for abatement but would go towards Morgan County on the assessed valuation. Ms. Humes stated that was correct because any equipment that has already been used in Indiana is not eligible for abatement.
