Valparaiso OKs Tax Abatement for $5.3M Proposed Development

Wednesday, June 12, 2019 12:00 PM EDT
Valparaiso OKs Tax Abatement for $5.3M Proposed Development Phair says the 1.6 million square feet under construction at AmeriPlex at Indianapolis is "nearly full."

The Valparaiso City Council Monday approved a tax abatement to support Bluejay 1 and Holladay Properties in developing a $5.3 million building on Barley Road. Our partners at The Times of Northwest Indiana report the project could bring nearly 70 new jobs to the city.
