The county will also pay $120 million for road improvements. City: Chapter 312 will abate 92.5% of company's property taxes for the first 10 years, 90% for the next 10 years and 85% for the following 10 years; Chapter 311, which creates a tax increment reinvestment zone, will divert, via TIF, 92.5% of the zone's generated taxes back to the company for the first 10 years, 90% for the next 10 years, and 85% for the following 10 years.
