Notes: No subsidy amounts were indicated when the project was announced in January 2005, but it was stated that Shintech would make use of property tax abatements, sales tax exemptions and Quality Jobs subsidies. The abatement amount (which is also listed in the main Subsidy Tracker data for the Industrial Tax Exemption program) was approved in 2009 and later disclosed.
