Which then becomes a source of new taxation revenue at the end of the exemption period.

McCune says there are a couple of properties in the city that have just been sitting there for years but which could benefit, one in particular.

“The old Esso bulk site. It was basically an Esso bulk plant that operated for many, many years. When it shut down they went through the steps that they were supposed to do at the time but it’s been closed now for close to 25 years.”

McCune says the city may be able to have discussions with Esso about an tax incentive that would help reclaim the land.
