City Makes Sales Pitch For Oil Mill Expansion
A l~e ,contin~ent .from Hale Center an~ Hale County made their sales pilCh to Plains Coop Oil MiD last Tuesday at the miD s locabon m Lubbock. Forty-SIX persons, representing businesses, Ihe commissioners court and fanners
. made Ihe trip to Lubbock to show support fQr purpose site. • Plains Coop Oil Mill is planning a major expansion of Wir Lubbock facility. PCOM will be constructing a mill to
crush an ~tional ~ tons per day. Along wilh the proposed mill, a new cottonseed oil refinery, a winterization plant and a bottling plant will also be constructed. The poposed miD would be one-third the size of the Lubbock mill cost $30 million to build and would employ 30-50 people. '
The Hale Center site beill$ considered is a 320-acre plot 1.5 miles south of Ihe city. It is considered one of Ihe prime locations because of the property being flanked by 1-21 and the railroad, availability of power, natura1 gas and water.
The Hale Center site is one of at least twelve locations bidding for Ihe oil mill. During a December 4 board meeting of the oil mill, the nine member board will narrow Ihe field of plant locations to two or Ihree sites. The fmal decision of the expansion plant will have a target diue of December 13. Plans call for the miD to be on-line to crush seed from the 1991 cotton crop.
Forty-six Hale County residents including Hale Center businessmen and fanners and representatives oCthe Hale County Industrial Foundation met with Plains Coop Oil Mill Manager Wayne Martin. Heading Ihe group and making the presentation to the oil miD was Hale Center Coop Gin manager Gene Latham.
In Ihe sales pilCh for the Hale Center site, Lalham outlined several incentives offered by Ihe city, Hale County and the Hale County Industrial Foundation.
Hale County commissioners agreed to give Ihe oil mill a ten year abatement on the estimalCd $10.5 million personal property. The county abatement would be in two parts, 100 percent for Ihe farst seven years and 15 percentlhe iastthree years of the abatemeru. The total county abatement for the ten yeN period would carry a price tag of $118,529 . .
The Hale Center SchQOl Boardvoled to give.a 10 percent abatement for five years totaling $110,685 but will have to rescind the abatement. According 10 School Business Manager Eddie Benefield, the school board wiD have 10 rescilld the ablUement because of state law.
With infonnation from l,indaJayries, Hale Cpunty Chief ApPrIliser,lhe school ~b8~ment must Ue the saine as Hale County or not have an abatemenf . . .
"Because of the impact on state aid to the school district, we (S'ch®ldistrict) Can not offer the same abatement as the ' 'county," stated Benefield; "The Texas EducationAgency does not recognize tax abatements in thecalcul~tions for state ~unding. The value of the mill would be added to our tax base as if we were going to collect the taxes." Examples to Illustrate the effect of an abatement include: .the school district granting a 60 percent abatement would result'in a loss of state funding of $581,430 a year; 10 percent would result in a loss of $618,335 a year.
The school district does offer, as it does for all taxpayers, a 3 percent discount if taxes lire paid in OclOber of each year. If the oil miD took advantage of the discount, the oil miD would realize a saving of $10,211 a year~ .
An incentive offered by the city would be availability of treated water and sewer to the site. The price tag of the city ~ Continued on Page 6

SEEDS FROM THE SOWER Mic~l A. Guido
As the fish was made for water, man was made for God. The fish may flop out of the water onto the shore, and be active. But he's doomed. And man out of fellowship with God has no future.
Man stays in fellowship with God by praying and praising. Praying is man asking God for His blessings. Praising is acknowledging God's blessings with a grateful heart
The thankful person counts His blessings and carries His burdens, knowing that God will make all things work together for good. . .
The Bible urges us to be fretful for nothing, prayerful foreverything and.thankful for anything.
