Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2451226, member: 127"] What I don't understand is why tax breaks aren't linked to redeveloping, re-purposing rather than new construction. New construction requires additional infrastructure costs and maintenance for government entities involving sewer, water, roads etc. Why give incentives for new sites when empty sites exist? If empty brownfield sites exist most who had also gotten tax breaks during their existence, why isn't cleanup mandated as a part of the original enforceable tax agreement? It's crazy how taxpayer money is thrown away chasing employers who will leave or in this case never even come with no accountability nor responsibility to repay the costs they have stuck us with.
