Voters Being Asked To Extend Tax Break Program In County Ballot Question

On the Tuesday, Aug. 20 primary election ballot, voters will choose whether to renew Palm Beach County’s ability to give certain economic development tax breaks to employers for creating or retaining jobs.

County Question 1 is titled “Economic Development Property Tax Exemptions to New Businesses and Expansions of Existing Businesses” and would continue the Economic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program.

Palm Beach County Commissioner Sara Baxter, whose District 6 extends from the western communities to the Glades, supports keeping the Economic Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program.

“One of the things we need to do is incentivize businesses to be here,” she said.
