Notes: During a one-day session, the Mississippi Legislature approved a subsidy package for a new Continental Tire plant. The officially disclosed amount included $263 million from the Mississippi Major Economic Impact Authority for site acquisition and preparation, infrastructure improvements and workforce training. Hinds County contributed $20 million of that amount. In addition, the package includes various tax breaks, the value of which has not been officially released. The AP estimated the tax breaks to be worth: $177 million in income and franchise tax exemptions over 25 years (after that the state will use a single sales formula to calculate the company's corporate income tax, providing additional savings); $68 million in county property tax abatements over 10 years and an unspecified amount in city property tax reductions via the city's agreement not to annex the company's site for 30 years; and $87.5 million in income tax rebates (the company will retain 3.5 percent of workers' income tax withholding for 25 years). Overlaps with main Subsidy Tracker data: none.
